Heart and Neurology Centers

The Heart Center covers cardiology and vascular medicine. It treats heart problems through prevention and non-surgical methods. Specialized units include an Arrhythmia Department and a Cardiac Rehabilitation department. To check heart rhythm, doctors use the Multiday Patch Holter. This wearable device records heartbeats for 24 to 48 hours, so it can catch episodes that come and go.

The Neurology Center offers full diagnosis of brain and nerve conditions. Its RAM Pituitary Center treats pituitary conditions and brain cancer. During brain surgery, specialists use fiber tractography with MRI. This helps surgeons see the pathways of nerve fibers. Professor Sira Bunyaratavej and Dr. Noppasin Takerngdej lead the neurosurgery team.

Specialized Surgical Care

The Minimally Invasive Endoscopic ENT Surgery Center treats ear, nose, and throat diseases. Its surgeons perform Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). An endoscope lets them see structures that aren't visible to the naked eye. This method treats chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and deviated septums. Most patients stay in the hospital for one to two days after these sinus procedures.

Patients with acoustic neuroma have three treatment options. Small tumors may only need monitoring under a "Watch and Wait" approach. Doctors track their growth with regular MRIs and audiograms. For tumors under 3 cm, radiation with Gamma Knife or CyberKnife is available. Tumors larger than 3 cm usually need surgical removal.

Pediatrics and Rehabilitation

The Children’s Health and Specialty Care Center treats children. Its dentistry unit offers orthodontic care, including braces for kids. Orthodontists check how teeth move during regular follow-up visits. Expectant mothers can get obstetric care here too. A team of midwives and obstetric nurses looks after patients from pregnancy through the postpartum period.

Rehabilitation is available after a stroke and for chronic conditions. For stroke recovery, the Neurology department uses electromagnetic wave technology. Dr. Jitra Wongwiwattananon and Dr. Kanintat Senchantichai run the physical medicine recovery programs. The hospital also has a Diabetic Foot Care Center and an Integrative Health Center.

International Patient Services

The emergency department is open 24 hours a day. Emergency medicine specialists and nurses staff it. International patients can use these services:

• Ambulance standby and patient transfer across Bangkok and other provinces.
• Halal-certified meals for patients with specific dietary needs.
• Dedicated prayer room on the hospital grounds.
• English-speaking staff and medical documentation.

Remote heart rhythm monitoring data goes to cloud storage. This means doctors can check ECG results anytime through a mobile app.
