Ramkhamhaeng Hospital

Ramkhamhaeng Hospital is a large private hospital in Bangkok. It opened in 1988 and has since grown into a major regional provider. The hospital has 486 inpatient beds on a 59,132-square-meter site. It belongs to a wider healthcare group with 31 affiliated locations across Thailand.

Recognition and Statistics

The hospital has 21 physicians and its own dedicated nursing team. It won the Caring Award at the Muang Thai Life Assurance Hospital Awards. In 2024, it also received the Creativity and Innovation Silver Award.

Cardiac and Vascular Care

The Heart Center focuses on preventing heart problems and treating them without surgery. Its Arrhythmia Department handles complex heart rhythm disorders. For diagnosis, the hospital uses wearable devices that monitor heart rhythm remotely. One of these, the Multiday Patch Holter, records heartbeats over time. This helps catch irregular episodes that come and go.

Patients can go home or to work while wearing the device. Data goes to cloud storage and a mobile app, where physicians review it. After major procedures, the Cardiac Rehabilitation department provides structured follow-up care. This helps patients return to daily activities safely.

Neuroscience and Neurosurgery

The Neurology Center offers full diagnosis for stroke and related neurologic conditions. For stroke rehabilitation, specialists use electromagnetic wave technology. The RAM Pituitary Center treats tumors and other conditions of the pituitary gland. Surgeons also operate on brain cancer with advanced visualization tools.

During brain surgery, specialists use MRI with fiber tractography. This shows doctors the important nerve fiber pathways. Because surgeons can see these structures, they avoid healthy tissue while removing a tumor. Professor Sira Bunyaratavej and Dr. Noppasin Takerngdej are notable specialists in this department.

Ear, Nose, and Throat Services

The Minimally Invasive Endoscopic ENT Surgery Center treats conditions of the nasal cavity. Surgeons perform Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) with endoscopes. These let them check structures that aren't visible to the naked eye. The center treats several chronic conditions:

• Chronic sinusitis
• Nasal polyps
• Deviated septum
• Acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma)

For acoustic neuroma, the hospital offers both surgery and radiation. Doctors treat tumors smaller than 3 cm with Gamma Knife or CyberKnife radiation. Larger tumors need surgery, which aims to preserve facial and hearing nerve function. After endoscopic sinus surgery, patients usually stay in the hospital for 1–2 days.

Gastroenterology and Specialized Centers

The Gastroenterology and Hepatology department treats digestive disorders like IBS and gallstones. To check for acid reflux, doctors use 24-hour esophageal pH-impedance testing. The Children’s Health and Specialty Care Center covers pediatric medicine and orthodontics. Its orthodontists fit braces for children and manage long-term dental alignment.

Other specialized units at the hospital include:

• Diabetic Foot Care Center
• RAM Integrative Health Center
• Pediatric Specialty Center
• Obstetrics and Postpartum Care Unit

Obstetric services cover preparation for pregnancy and care led by midwives and nurses.

Services for International Patients

The hospital runs 24-hour emergency services with an ambulance on standby. Patient transfers are available throughout Bangkok and other Thai provinces. For comfort and cultural needs, halal-certified meals are available. Patients and their families can also use a dedicated prayer room on-site.
