Bangkok Hospital's main headquarters is advancing gastrointestinal and liver care through a major redesign of its gastroenterology centre under the concept "Beyond Future – Advanced GI Care and Endoscopy". The renovation elevates patient care using cutting-edge treatment technology, supported by specialist doctors and experienced multidisciplinary teams. The hospital reaffirms its commitment to delivering excellent care for all digestive and liver conditions, meeting standards trusted by both Thai and international patients.

Dr. Methini Maipaeng, Chairman of the Executive Board Group 1, highlighted the hospital's ongoing pursuit of medical excellence through comprehensive healthcare transformation. "In 2025, Bangkok Hospital continues advancing its health service system with comprehensive development, including ICHOM-certified treatment quality reflecting value-driven care and outcomes measurement that address patient needs and quality of life. Alongside modern medical innovation, we are becoming an Asia-Pacific Medical Robot Hub and offering digital health access with 24/7 appointment booking. We are also prioritizing employee wellbeing across physical, mental, and work-life balance dimensions to deliver the best care to patients, while fulfilling our social and environmental responsibility as we progress toward our Net Zero 2050 goal. Our achievements in the first half of the year reflect our commitment to creating valuable and sustainable healthcare system change for the future."

Dr. Boonthida Charoenswaddi, Hospital Director, said: "Bangkok Hospital prioritizes comprehensive, multidimensional patient care covering prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Our gastroenterology centre is one of our centres of excellence, enjoying growing patient trust. With more than 759 successful biliary and pancreatic endoscopy cases, over 600 ultrasound endoscopy cases, and more than 54,000 gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedures (2021-2025 data), we maintain a complication rate below 1%. We are redesigning our gastrointestinal and liver disease care through advanced endoscopy, creating patient-centred services that elevate the treatment experience while continuing to develop our services and invest in modern medical innovation. True success lies in improving every patient's quality of life."

The redesign of the 2,800-square-metre gastroenterology centre combines precision design with patient journey principles and advanced endoscopy technology. Patients receive convenient, efficient, and high-quality care at every stage—from consultation through diagnosis, endoscopic treatment, and recovery and disease prevention. The centre features 15 new examination rooms and advanced procedure rooms.
