This marks the first time that a cancer-specialized hospital under Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health has received this prestigious international recognition.

The <a href="https://nci.go.th/">National Cancer Institute</a>, under the Department of Medical Services, has made history in Thailand&rsquo;s healthcare sector after being named one of the &ldquo;Best Specialized Hospitals Asia-Pacific 2025&rdquo; by Newsweek magazine. This marks the first time that a cancer-specialized hospital under Thailand&rsquo;s Ministry of Public Health has received this prestigious international recognition.

This achievement reflects Thailand&rsquo;s commitment to elevating healthcare services to international standards, in line with national policies aimed at improving quality of life and positioning the country as a regional medical hub. The Department of Medical Services has been driving advancements in medical technology, staff training, and innovative research to enhance service quality and safety across its affiliated hospitals. The inclusion of the National Cancer Institute in this global ranking underscores its progress and excellence as a leading specialized hospital recognized worldwide, while also highlighting Thailand&rsquo;s dedication to advancing its healthcare system.

The Best Specialized Hospitals Asia-Pacific ranking by Newsweek and Statista is based on three main criteria:

<ol>
	<li>
	Reputation Score &ndash; determined through an online survey of medical experts and healthcare professionals across the region.
	</li>
	<li>
	Certifications &ndash; assessment of international accreditations received.
	</li>
	<li>
	Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) &ndash; feedback from patients reflecting the quality of care from their own experiences.
	</li>
</ol>

The National Cancer Institute provides state-of-the-art cancer care by multidisciplinary teams of specialists, serving approximately 50,000 patients annually, totaling over 270,000 visits each year. It continues to develop innovative treatment models to deliver comprehensive and holistic care, such as:

<ul>
	<li>
	Advanced nuclear-based therapy for advanced liver cancer, which enhances cure rates and reduces side effects.
	</li>
	<li>
	CyberKnife radiosurgery as a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
	</li>
	<li>
	Evidence-based integrative care, including the use of aloe vera extracts from the Government Pharmaceutical Organization to support patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
	</li>
</ul>

In addition to treatment, the institute serves as a center for cancer education, research, and training for medical professionals both domestically and internationally. It also collaborates with national health agencies and organizations to improve benefit packages, service standards, cost analysis, and the overall efficiency of cancer care systems in Thailand.

This recognition reinforces the National Cancer Institute&rsquo;s role as a center of excellence, not only in delivering high-quality cancer treatment and patient care but also as a model institution inspiring other hospitals to enhance and expand their own services.

National Cancer Institute Named Among “Best Specialized Hospitals Asia-Pacific 2025,” Showcasing Excellence in Treatment and Medical Innovation

On August 15, gastroenterology and hepatology specialists reported that viral hepatitis remains a silent threat, claiming more than one million lives worldwide each year. In Thailand, it is estimated that around 2–3 million people are living with chronic hepatitis B, while approximately 350,000 are infected with chronic hepatitis C. Viral hepatitis is a major risk factor leading to liver cancer.

On August 15, gastroenterology and hepatology specialists reported that viral hepatitis remains a silent threat, claiming more than one million lives worldwide each year. In Thailand, it is estimated that around 2&ndash;3 million people are living with chronic hepatitis B, while approximately 350,000 are infected with chronic hepatitis C. Viral hepatitis is a major risk factor leading to liver cancer.

Currently, the hepatitis B vaccine is available and offers up to 95% protection, while hepatitis C is now curable in up to 99% of cases, giving patients new hope. The World Health Organization (WHO) and its member countries, including Thailand, have committed to eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030.

Hepatitis B is a highly resilient virus that can survive in the environment for long periods and causes hepatitis B infection, a serious liver disease. If acute or chronic hepatitis is left untreated, it can progress to cirrhosis or liver cancer over time. About 90% of infections are transmitted from mother to child during birth, but infections can also occur later through blood and bodily fluids &mdash; such as unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles or sharp objects, receiving contaminated blood transfusions, or undergoing unsafe medical procedures. Carriers of the virus are strongly advised to avoid donating blood.

Health experts recommend that everyone receive at least one dose of the hepatitis B vaccine in their lifetime, particularly those born before 1992, when universal vaccination for newborns was not yet available. High-risk groups are especially urged to get vaccinated, including:

&nbsp; &nbsp;1.Individuals with family members who are carriers of the virus

&nbsp; &nbsp;2.Partners or spouses of infected individuals

&nbsp; &nbsp;3.People living with HIV or hepatitis C

&nbsp; &nbsp;4.Pregnant women, who should be screened during prenatal checkups

&nbsp; &nbsp;5.Those in occupations with frequent exposure to blood

&nbsp; &nbsp;6.People who have received blood transfusions or undergone non-standard procedures such as tattoos or piercings.

Experts added that patients diagnosed with viral hepatitis will only receive antiviral medications if there are clear clinical indications. The possibility of full recovery depends on whether the infection is acute or chronic. Around 80&ndash;90% of newly infected individuals can recover naturally, developing immunity that prevents chronic infection. However, chronic hepatitis B &mdash; the most common stage &mdash; currently has no complete cure, though the disease can be controlled effectively with antiviral medications when necessary.

It was also emphasized that not every hepatitis carrier will develop liver cancer, but their risk is 100 times higher than that of the general population. Regular liver cancer screening is strongly recommended, with abdominal ultrasounds every six months as the standard method. In some
