How Do Clinics Provide Affordable Treatment?
There are a number of factors that help the clinics keep their prices low. The first thing that the clinics do is hire their staff locally. The local staff are paid less salary as the cost of living in Thailand is low. They are fluent in English and provide excellent care to patients, but they enable the clinics to provide care for less. This saving, as well as lower rent and other costs are passed on to customers.
