Psychotherapist consultation in BNH Hospital

BNH Hospital is a private multi-specialty medical center in Bangkok's Silom district. Founded in 1898 under King Rama V's royal patronage, it began as a nursing home. Today, 103 doctors work across 46 specialized departments in a single building.BNH Hospital holds **Joint Commission International (JCI)** accreditation. This confirms high standards for patient care, infection control, and safety. The hospital is also the first **Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy** training center in the ASEAN region.

Specialized Cancer Screening and Care

The hospital focuses on early detection through advanced genomic technology. Its **ctDNA multi-cancer screening package** uses Next Generation Sequencing to identify risks for five cancer types:

• Breast cancer
• Lung cancer
• Liver cancer
• Colorectal cancer
• Stomach cancer

For colorectal health, the clinic offers **SDC2 Methylation** testing. This blood or stool-based test reaches up to 90% accuracy – no colonoscopy or bowel prep needed. If skin cancer is found, specialists perform **Mohs Surgery**. They remove and examine tissue layer by layer during the procedure to preserve healthy skin.

Urology and Men's Health

The M Centre specializes in non-surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The center uses **iTind technology** – a device inserted into the urethra to reshape tissue without incisions. This 15-minute procedure uses IV sedation. Most patients don't need a catheter or hospital stay.

Specialists also provide Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy, which uses thermal energy to shrink the prostate. Dr. Suntchai Wirojsangthong, trained at Chulalongkorn University, leads the urological team. Clinic data shows iTind patients gain an 11.4% improvement in urine flow. After three years, no cases of sexual dysfunction have been reported.

Neuroscience and Spinal Surgery

The BNH Neuroscience Centre treats brain and spinal disorders, including stroke and intracranial hemorrhage. Surgeons perform several **minimally invasive spinal fusion** techniques through incisions of just 1.5–3 cm:

• Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF)
• Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)
• Transpsoas interbody fusion (DLIF or XLIF)
• Oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLLIF)

**3D O-Arm navigation** guides instruments with high precision during these procedures. The center also has physiotherapists and occupational therapists who help patients recover from spinal cord injuries or multiple sclerosis.

Gastroenterology and Eye Care

The Digestive Care Centre uses endoscopy systems with **AI and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)** technology from Japan. These tools improve visualization of the digestive tract to detect ulcers, H. pylori infections, or esophageal problems. Packages include bowel preparation, sedation, and interpretation by a Consultant Gastroenterologist.

The Eye Department on the second floor treats adults and children, including those with strabismus. Dr. Chavisa Bunyavee, a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist, performs microscopic eye muscle surgeries. The department uses **Goldman Applanation Tonometry** to measure eye pressure.

International Patient Services

BNH Hospital runs Thailand's first International Travel Medicine Clinic. This unit offers tourists and expatriates medical advice, tropical disease consultations, and vaccine guidance. Tropical disease specialists and nurses support travelers entering or leaving Thailand. The hospital provides all coordination and medical services in **English**.
