Hemodialysis

Apart from our dedicated hemodialysis unit, which caters for our resident patients, Phuket International Hospital has an established dialysis program for tourists and those wishing to visit Phuket.

At our center we take the worry out of traveling and receiving dialysis, allowing visitors to travel with confidence. Trained professionals handle your entire medical and dialysis needs and we offer you freedom, catering for your holiday and dialysis program. Our dedicated staff is available to consult with you, to confirm your treatment schedule and if required, assist with the other issues that make a holiday successful, such as airport collection, 24-hour access to medical assistance and direct communication with your family physician.

The Hemodialysis Center is open from Monday to Saturday, with two sessions per day, in the morning and the afternoon. It is closed for cleaning on Sundays, however as a 24-hour acute healthcare facility, emergency treatment is available after hours and on Sundays.

To ensure that you are able to look after yourself and maintain good health after receiving dialysis, we offer inclusive consultations with our Dieticians and Pharmacists. Complementary meals and transport are also provided for patients.

Treatment started abroad, may be continued here very easily. You may choose the type of dialyser and medication used or you may cater to a specific dialyser. You may even bring your own machine with you ! Two large V.I.P. dialysis rooms equipped with armchairs are provided for those looking for a little more luxury. And all machines are set up so that you may lie down or sit up while dialysis is being performed.

If you would like to schedule dialysis sessions during your stay in Phuket or simply require further information please send your enquiry by email to ‘info@phuketinternationalhospital.com’ or fax (+ 66 (0) 76 36 18 00), for the attention of Mr. Hugo Fluri or Dr. Jumphon. We kindly request that you inform us of your expected arrival and departure dates and after we receive your request we will send further information for you and your home doctor and request some details related to your medical history, dialysis preference and technical and laboratory information.

In order to facilitate insurance claims we can provide receipts for each session or one final receipt for all sessions, or alternatively we will also accept guarantees of payment from insurance companies.
