Allow me to introduce to you Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand

Okay, maybe they aren't the BEST, per se, but...

Not only do they have a world-renown heart center...

Americans, Europeans, and Australians alike are flocking to their plastic surgery center because it's the same quality at a better price.

(smart branding move: check out their website - they are creating a distinct brand just for plastic surgery center to cater to the different market segment)

Is healthcare becoming a global marketplace? Will a well-off couple take a flight to Thailand for a nip, a tuck, some curry noodles, and some sun? According to McKinsey, "Medical tourism" will hit $2B in 2012. Of course, acute care is not on the chopping block for obvious reasons, but elective surgery and check-ups? It's already happening.

Check out Bumrungrad pricing and promotions (exchange rate: $1 to 40 bahts). You can get a comprehensive check-up for ~$60.

By the way, Bumrungrad is expanding into the Phillipines, Malaysia, and maybe even China. They just shelled out $9.2MM for a 40% stake in Asian Hospital in Manila.
