Bangkok Adventist Hospital in Bangkok - Thailand

Bangkok Adventist Hospital, widely known among the Thai people as Mission Hospital, is a general hospital with registered capacity of 200 beds and 24 bassinets, situated at 430 Pitsanuloke Road, Bangkok, and owned and operated by the Christian Medical Foundation of Seventh-Day Adventists. The hospital is part of worldwide Adventist healthcare network. The present institution is an outgrowth of the Bangkok Mission Clinic, opened in rented shophouse at 56 Maitrichitr Road near Plabplachai intersection, on May 10, 1937 with funds contributed by a philanthropist sea captain, Thomas Hall, of Mexico. Dr. Ralph Waddell and his wife Ellen, Nai Pleng Vitiamyalaksna, and Pastor Kon Vui-leong directed the development of the original 12-bed hospital with an outpatient department into a 50-bed clinic.

The name Bangkok Adventist Hospital was officially adopted in 1973. In 1983 a new wing was opened, built into the original hospital building not to increase beds but to expand much needed outpatient, operating room and patient room facilities. This wing was called the Ralph Waddell Wing. In 1987, marking the 50th anniversary of the hospital, the Pleng Vitiamalaksna building was opened to provide beds for Obstetric and Pediatrics and to house a new Food and Bakery service along with much needed car parking spaces.

In 2003 Bangkok Adventist Hospital admitted approximately 6000 patients and treated 180,000 outpatients. The hospital currently has 410 employees and about 90 medical staff. Besides admitting and treating patients in the hospital, Bangkok Adventist Hospital also runs a Mobile Clinic which is equipped with x-ray unit. This is also used for charitable medical outreach of the hospital.

Mission Hospital is proud to be one of the first few private hospitals in Thailand to receive Hospital Accreditation (HA). The HA program is a movement in quality improvement for both public and private hospitals in Thailand. The fundamentals of this program are patient focus, organizational and multi-disciplinary teamwork, and continuous self-assessment and improvement.
