Each patient is assigned a dedicated team member as their advocate on their first contact with the Hospital. Their advocate translates, advises, and coordinates with their patient from pre-admission functions, throughout their stay in Thailand, until their arrival back home. Whether you want to discuss travel arrangements, accommodation, hospital admissions, communication with a medical specialist, plans for your accompanying friends or family, or simply enjoy a bit of companionship, our staff will help you enjoy a truly seamless and relaxed experience at Ratchaphruek Hospital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1--required-documents-\"><strong>Services provided to Medical Travel Program patients include but are not limited to:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Free pre-admission consultation and medical advice through e-mail.
