CEO-HEALTH: a unique medical referral service
for expatriates in Thailand

European physicians at CEO-HEALTH provide a medical referral service (recommendation of Thai doctor or surgeon consultation), free of charge, to expatriates living/working in Thailand.

Why CEO-HEALTH offers a referral service for expatriates in Thailand?

Healthcare is often a concern for expatriates. Unlike most Western countries, Thailand has no “primary referral system” involving a family physician (GP). Therefore, selecting the right physician or surgeon, especially in case of serious illness, is often a real issue for an expatriate living in the country.

This is where CEO-HEALTH’s medical team comes in.

How CEO-HEALTH makes referrals?

Because we are medical doctors, we can refer to and deal directly with Thai physicians and surgeons from leading hospital groups in Bangkok. The CEO-HEALTH™ referral proposal is based solely on the doctor or surgeon who is going to personally take care of you. The choice of the hospital is secondary to the physician’s selection. Once you agree with our recommendation, CEO-HEALTH arranges the appointment to fit your schedule.

For any CEO-HEALTH™ referral, medical ethics are the core principle of our decision making process. Our main strength is a trusted relationship of 20 years duration with many leading physicians who know us as well as we know them.

Furthermore, CEO-HEALTH can also, if needed, facilitate coordination between your home country doctor and the Thai practitioners.

Physicians and pharmacists run CEO-HEALTH. Dr Gerard Lalande, the managing director, is a French physician with more than 20 years experience in the healthcare industry in Thailand.

How much does it cost?

CEO-HEALTH gets remuneration from these hospitals as the specialized facilitator for health care projects. As such, the recommendation for specialist consultation is provided at no cost to the expatriate.
