173

Amidst the global economic turmoil and multifaceted challenges in the Thai healthcare industry, Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited has proven that excellent management systems and a forward-looking vision are the keys to growth. Its latest achievement is receiving the 2569 Company of the Year Award in the Healthcare Business Category. This award not only reflects strong financial figures but also reinforces the unwavering trust that patients from around the world place in Bumrungrad Hospital.

The power of trust built over 45 years.
Assets that cannot be copied.

Dr. Athirat Jarukitpipat, Chief Executive Officer, Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited. The key factors contributing to Bumrungrad's outstanding performance and strong profitability were revealed to be building trust. In the healthcare business, trust is the most valuable asset, and it takes over 45 years to cultivate. What sets the hospital apart is its strong and balanced patient base, encompassing both domestic and international patients. This allows the organization to diversify risk in both market and service sectors and effectively cope with economic fluctuations and future challenges.

Behind this success lies serious investment in efficient organizational management and advanced medical technology. Bumrungrad has expertise in caring for patients with complex diseases, supported by a seamless collaboration between its medical and multidisciplinary teams. Their focus is on achieving the highest possible treatment outcomes, quality, and patient safety, rather than competing in the short term. These have become unique strengths and competitive advantages that are difficult for others to replicate.

Blueprint for the second half of 69.
Injecting a significant investment plan.

Looking at trends and strategies for the second half of 2569, Bumrungrad is accelerating major investment projects to prepare for full long-term growth. A highlight project and a key step in expanding Bumrungrad's service network is the "Bumrungrad International Hospital Phuket (BIHP)". Establishing a presence in this world-class tourist city will operate under a Hub-and-Spoke Model, connecting the capabilities of the main hospital, Bumrungrad Main Campus, with the southern region to efficiently expand patient care and referrals.

In addition to its Phuket project, Bumrungrad is also aggressively pursuing investment plans in Bangkok, proceeding with the development of a "Specialized Hospital" project on Sukhumvit Soi 1. This new specialized hospital will be built to meet the increasing demand for complex medical treatments. The establishment of this specialized hospital will further enhance the capabilities and expand the potential of the Bumrungrad Main Campus in the long term.

Meanwhile, for its existing treatment centers, the hospital is investing in upgrading the “Horizon Cancer Center” to become a truly comprehensive cancer care and treatment center. This investment will bring together cutting-edge medical technology and a multidisciplinary team to increase the chances and effectiveness of treatment, leading to a better quality of life for patients. All expansion investments in the second half of the year will proceed in parallel with investments in Digital Transformation and AI to help improve the quality of treatment, enhance operational efficiency across all areas, and create a better patient experience.

Furthermore, the hospital has plans to aggressively expand into international markets, particularly Bangladesh, which is experiencing high growth rates of almost 25%. Bumrungrad is preparing to open its own Referral Office in Bangladesh to serve as a front-line center for referring patients to Bangkok for treatment, modeled after the success of its clinic in Yangon, Myanmar. Simultaneously, within Thailand, it is expanding its partnerships with corporate clients and insurance companies, as well as establishing academic collaborations with medical schools, such as partnering with Chulalongkorn University to develop AI technology for colon cancer screening, and with various other medical institutions.

A major transformation beyond treatment.
Towards becoming a lifelong health partner.

In adapting to the digital age and changing consumer behavior, Bumrungrad has outlined a significant image transformation roadmap, looking beyond simply being a hospital for treating illnesses. It aims to become a Lifetime Health Partner, aligning with the wellness and longevity trends where modern individuals prioritize maintaining good health and living longer.

Therefore, hospitals are shifting their future business direction from focusing on treating illness when it occurs to focusing on holistic healthcare. This includes everything from preventative care and early detection to advanced treatments, health promotion, and promoting a long and healthy life. All of this is to create a complete healthcare ecosystem to support the future of the healthcare industry and an aging society sustainably.

Regarding the integration of technology and information systems to drive organizational agility and adapt to global changes, Dr. Athirat adheres to the key principle of "Human + AI." The hospital will use technology solely as a tool to enhance the capabilities and support the work of its personnel, not to replace them. The heart of medical care still relies on human care and touch.

“Looking at the bigger picture, the healthcare industry today and in the future is transitioning from treating illnesses to providing comprehensive care throughout life. Today, the role of hospitals doesn't end when patients recover and go home; we must be able to care for and promote their health at every stage of life.”

Dr. Athirat emphasized that, for this crucial reason, Bumrungrad Hospital is moving forward towards becoming a Lifetime Health Partner by connecting all aspects of healthcare, from early detection and prevention to advanced treatment, wellness, and longevity. This is to create a healthcare ecosystem ready to support both the future of healthcare and the country's aging society.”

This award reflects not only the financial performance or profit growth figures, but also serves as a mirror reflecting the fact that the business is conducted with a focus on patients.
A patient-centric approach, investing in the future, and good governance can create truly sustainable growth.

Award for Sustainable Achievement
From the "behind-the-scenes gears" of every life in the organization.

Receiving this Company of the Year award is a great source of pride and a testament to our vision for sustainable management. Dr. Athirat expressed that the award reflects not only the growth in performance or profit figures, but also a mirror reflecting how a patient-centric business approach, investing in the future, and good governance can truly create sustainable growth.

The tremendous success over the past 45 years would not have been possible without the driving force and collaboration from all sectors: the trust from patients, shareholders, business partners, and most importantly, the entire team behind the scenes—including the doctors, specialists, and all personnel who have worked together to consistently build trust in Bumrungrad.

This award, therefore, serves as encouragement and a reminder to the organization of its increased responsibility to continuously develop the quality, innovation, and standards of patient care. Because in the healthcare business, there is no such thing as the best, only the ability to improve every day, in order to be a partner who continuously cares for the health of everyone at every age, for life.
