Founded in 1982 as the first private hospital in the lower northern region, and now part of the Principal Healthcare group. It sits on Khun Phiren Thorathep Road about a kilometre from Phitsanulok railway station, and runs a trauma and emergency centre open around the clock, certified as a level 3 trauma centre by the Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand, plus a night outpatient clinic. It has held JCI accreditation since 2012.
What it is known for
Being here first, and being internationally accredited. Phitsanuvej opened in 1982 as the lower north’s first private hospital and has been the region’s established private option ever since; it now belongs to the Principal Healthcare group. Its trauma and emergency centre runs 24 hours, handles accident and critical cases, operates ambulances and takes transfers in and out, and is certified as a level 3 trauma centre by the Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand. A night outpatient clinic covers the small hours. The hospital first earned JCI accreditation in 2012 and has renewed it since.
Who it suits
Insured travellers who want a private hospital with an accreditation their insurer will recognise, and anyone who has been hurt on the road between Sukhothai and Phitsanulok. The trauma certification is the reason it is worth naming specifically: road accidents are the injury most likely to bring a visitor to this region’s hospitals, and this is the private hospital set up for them. For a minor complaint the night clinic is useful, since a fever at two in the morning does not otherwise have many options in Phitsanulok.
Cost and insurance
Private pricing, similar in level to the other private hospital in the city and far below Bangkok. Direct billing depends on whether your insurer holds a contract; otherwise expect a deposit on admission and pay-and-claim for outpatient visits. Phone your policy’s assistance number first if you can, both to confirm the hospital is on their list and to open the claim. Ask for the estimate before treatment starts, and collect an itemised receipt and an English-language medical certificate before you leave — the hospital produces them routinely.
Getting there
On Khun Phiren Thorathep Road on the west side of the Nan River, about a kilometre south-west of Phitsanulok railway station and a few minutes from the bus terminal; the airport is roughly ten minutes away. From Sukhothai allow an hour on Highway 12. The switchboard is +66 55 909 000 and the emergency centre +66 55 241 208. Tell the driver “rong phayaban Phitsanuvej”. Note the hospital romanises its own name “Pitsanuvej”, without the h, which is how it appears on its website and its signs.
