Chaophya Hospital is a leading private health care institution in Thailand celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. It is incorporated in 1988 by a multidisciplinary team of physician specialists and health care institutions under the leadership of the late Senator Lt. Gen. Dr. Kovit Patakayon, M.D. From its very inception, the hospital was conceived as a tertiary care general hospital to provide high quality healthcare by specialists to both the local and international patients and this has always been the guiding principle in its conduct and development. Located on 5.5 acres of land on the west bank of the famed Chaophya river, its namesake, which cut through the heart of Bangkok, the hospital is easily accessible by land and waterway. It is only fifteen minutes from Siriraj Hospital, the oldest and largest medical school in Thailand, from where the hospital draws its many expert and talented medical consultant physicians. In 2002, in keeping with its adherence to good governance concept, Chaophya Hospital becomes a public company and administrative restructuring was carried out to bring in talented team of physician-cum-administrators and new partners. Since that time, the hospital has undertaken major renovation project investing more than 150 million baht for a major upgrade of medical equipment and facilities for both the outpatient and inpatient quarters. Under the leadership of Prof. Supachai Chaithiraphan, its chief executive officer and Heart Center director, Chaophya Hospital is privileged to be at ground zero of the innovative stem cell therapy for end-staged ischemic heart disease patients and a trailblazer in translating stem cell research from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside. Since March, 2005, more than 40 patients from U.S., U.K., Southeast Asian and the Middle East regions have been treated successfully and it is expected that the number of patients will grow rapidly in the coming months. Continually striving for excellence in medical cares and services, Chaophya Hospital will continually innovate to stay at the forefront of medical advances to provide a unique combination of world class medical care in conjunction with the famed Thai hospitality service.
The hospital receives ISO9001:2000 certification in 2001
