Samitivej PCL (Thai: สมิติเวช), doing business as Samitivej Hospitals (Thai: โรงพยาบาลสมิติเวช), is a private hospital brand in Thailand. It operates hospitals and health centers in Bangkok and Chonburi Province.[1]
It is owned by Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS), Thailand's largest private hospital company.[2]
As of 2009[update] 40% of the patients seen at Samitivej centres are non-Thai.[3] The foreign patients, as of 2009, often refer to each hospital as "the baby hospital", and they are used by expatriates who live in countries with less developed healthcare systems; Rachel Louise Snyder, writing in Slate, described "Five-star service" as "the aphorism most often uttered in conjunction with Samitivej."[4]
The centres offer halal food, and patients can get frequent flier miles.[5]
