Artirat Charukitpipat, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Bumrungrad International Hospital, said, As more people engage in sports and exercise, whether through marathon running, tennis, golf, or HYROX, the risk of sports-related injuries is no longer limited to professional athletes. It can affect anyone who leads an active lifestyle. Statistics show that more than 3.5 million sports-related injuries occur each year in the United States (Source: Johns Hopkins Medicine), while the Asia-Pacific region has recorded an 18% annual increase in the incidence of sports injuries (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023). To address this growing need, Bumrungrad International Hospital has enhanced its Sports Medicine & Joint Center by integrating multidisciplinary expertise with advanced medical technology to provide comprehensive sports medicine care, enabling people to move, play sports, and live their lives safely and sustainably.

This commitment is reflected in Bumrungrad International Hospital’s recognition by Newsweek as one of the Best Specialized Hospitals Asia Pacific 2026 in Orthopedics, marking its fourth consecutive year of recognition. Bumrungrad ranked 31st among 75 hospitals across the Asia-Pacific region and No. 1 in Thailand. In addition, the Hospital was named among Asia’s Top Private Hospitals and Clinics 2026 for Knee Surgery and Knee Replacement, Hip Surgery and Hip Replacement, and Shoulder Surgery for the second consecutive year, achieving the No. 1 ranking among the Top 100 hospitals and clinics across Asia.

Suwanna Suwannaphong, MD, Program Director of VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center, said, A key strength of the Bumrungrad Sports Medicine & Joint Center is its close collaboration with the VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center, integrating expertise in sports medicine, preventive medicine, nutrition, and scientific wellness into a comprehensive approach to care. This includes assessments of micronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and hormone levels, as well as body composition analysis, to develop precise, personalized care plans. Our goal is to help individuals exercise safely, recover effectively, and achieve their full potential for long-term health and well-being.
