Samitivej Chinatown Wins the Ophthalmology Service Provider of the Year in Thailand 2026 Award
This recognition reinforces Samitivej Chinatown’s leadership in comprehensive eye care, advanced medical technology, and internationally recognized standards of treatment and patient care. The prestigious award was presented at the Global Health Asia-Pacific Awards 2026, organized by Global Health and Travel, a leading regional publication focused on healthcare and medical tourism.
The award was determined based on satisfaction ratings from readers worldwide, together with evaluations by a panel of distinguished experts from the healthcare and medical tourism sectors across the Asia-Pacific region.
Dr. Saran Intakul, Hospital Director of Samitivej Chinatown Hospital, said:
“The Ophthalmology Service Provider of the Year in Thailand 2026 award” is another testament to the success of the Samitivej Chinatown Eye Institute and its continued commitment to advancing comprehensive eye care, ranging from common eye conditions to complex ophthalmic diseases, as well as vision correction using advanced technologies delivered by a team of internationally experienced ophthalmologists.
Samitivej Chinatown Hospital is the first in Southeast Asia to implement Complete Connected Care, an intelligent surgical technology platform that enables seamless integration of clinical and surgical data. The hospital has also introduced the advanced UNITY VCS cataract surgery system, becoming the first private hospital in Thailand to adopt this technology.
The system supports advanced 4D cataract surgery, helping make procedures up to twice as fast, while enabling precise vitreous cutting designed to enhance retinal safety. It also features multi-spot laser capability, allowing several laser spots to be delivered simultaneously for greater procedural efficiency.
Together, these advancements help elevate treatment standards by enhancing precision and safety while minimizing surgical incision size. This reflects our commitment to delivering the best possible outcomes for patients through Patient-Centric Care, an approach that places each patient at the center of care and considers not only clinical outcomes, but also their long-term quality of life.
