PMG Hospital is a private multispecialty facility in Bangkok, Thailand. It focuses on cardiology, orthopedics, and pediatrics. The hospital also offers obstetrics, gynecology, and rehabilitation. Pediatric services treat children from birth to age 15. A 24-hour critical care center provides intensive monitoring by specialist physicians.
PMG Hospital opened in 1992 and has 109 beds. There are 36 patient rooms, including private VIP suites. The PMG Heart Center offers full-cycle cardiac care. This covers diagnostics, interventional treatments, and rehabilitation. For stroke recovery, the rehab team uses PMS electromagnetic stimulation, therapeutic exercises, and electrical appliances.
International patients get help with medical visa extensions, translation, and airport transfers. Diagnostics rely on digital radiography and CT scanners. Cardiovascular screening includes carotid intima-media thickness ultrasound. This test detects heart disease risk without radiation.
