As of 2019, there were around 1,289 hospitals in Thailand. Around 198 of them are equipped to
provide tertiary care services. This number is expected to grow as a majority of private hospitals in
the country strive to improve procedural mix and case complexity, to service the incoming flow of
medical tourists from the rest of Asia. Aiding this growth are the sweeping set of healthcare reforms
the country underwent in the last four years, expanding and strengthening all of its public sector
hospitals to bolster their universal health coverage plan. With the per capita spending on Healthcare
now standing at a strong $220, the country is positioned to develop tertiary care systems in the next
3-4 years. This segment of hospitals, providing tertiary care services or those transforming towards
providing specialty care, could potentially drive growth in the medical device market in 2020,
according to EMeRG’s new HospeTrack Hospital Intelligence for Thailand.
