BNH Hospital is delighted to announce our recent achievement in attaining Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. In response to the ever increasing number of patients seeking medical care outside of their home countries, it has become essential for hospitals to undergo rigorous screening to ensure they meet international standards for health care services. The current leading body for such accreditation is Joint Commission International, a US-based organization widely seen as the gold standard for top-level health care service providers worldwide.
BNH Hospital has been chosen for the Best Services Award Working closely with many local Australians, the Australian Defence Force and the Australian Embassy, BNH Hospital is a world –class provider of medical services. Australian patients are also one of its highest categories of international patients. BNH has many specialized clinics within its main premises at Convent Road Bangkok.

The BNH Hospital was the first private international hospital in Thailand, established by the expatriate community in 1898. Today, BNH is a first class international hospital continuing to provide for the healthcare needs of many foreign diplomatic staff, their families as well as foreigners from 150 countries.
