In brief: PMC supports several stages of healthcare in Phuket: preparation before travel, illness during a stay, ongoing monitoring for residents and medical documentation before departure. Seventeen service groups span general medicine, minor procedures, chronic care, laboratory and imaging, vaccination, sexual and hormone health, weight management, travel medicine and selected accommodation visits.

Before travelling or settling in Phuket

Travel medicine reviews destinations, planned activities, health conditions, regular medicines and relevant vaccines. Adult and child vaccination should be planned from age, records and individual risk, with stock confirmed before the visit.

PMC can perform an examination for a work-permit medical certificate when the required criteria are met. For travel insurance, the clinic can prepare clinical documents for coordination or a claim; it does not sell insurance, and reimbursement is determined by the policy provider.

When symptoms develop in Phuket

  • General care: assessment of fever, cough, sore throat, rash, abdominal symptoms and other common concerns in Thai and international patients.
  • Traveller's diarrhoea: review of dehydration, fever, blood in stool and whether tests or prescription treatment are appropriate.
  • Minor surgery: abscess drainage, selected skin-tag removal, wound suturing or toenail procedures after clinical screening.
  • Wound care: cleaning, dressing changes, healing review and infection assessment.
  • IV fluid or vitamin drip: considered only after assessment for dehydration, indications and contraindications.
  • Hotel or home service: selected care at accommodation, subject to location, timing and clinical suitability.

When clearer diagnostic information is needed

Blood testing may include health-check markers, glucose, lipids, organ function and hormone tests selected for a clinical purpose. X-ray and ultrasound answer different questions, so the appropriate test should follow an assessment. Branch availability, preparation and reporting times vary.

Ongoing care for people living in Phuket

  • Hypertension, diabetes and cholesterol: scheduled reviews of measurements, results, medicines and longer-term risk.
  • Hormone care for transgender women and men: identity-respecting consultation, appropriate tests and safety follow-up.
  • Sexual health: STI/HIV prevention, testing and treatment, including assessment for PEP or PrEP.
  • Weight-loss medicine consultation and InBody: body-composition data considered alongside health history, comorbidities and goals; prescription is never guaranteed.
  • Insomnia or anxiety consultation: screening of physical contributors, medicines, sleep habits and mental wellbeing, with referral when required.

Choosing a branch and booking

PMC branches serve different parts of Phuket. Choose by both location and service capability because not every procedure or diagnostic test is available at every site at the same time. The team may recommend hospital or emergency care when a clinic visit is not the safe level of care.

Explore PMC medical services and PMC locations across Phuket, then select a branch, service and time through PMC Booking. Add a brief symptom note to support pre-visit triage.

Frequently asked questions

Can a traveller see a doctor without complete records?

Yes. Bring or show any medicine list, conditions, allergies, insurance details and previous results that you have.

Can hotel or home service replace emergency care?

No. Accommodation visits are only for clinically suitable cases after screening. Severe symptoms require emergency services or hospital care.

Are X-ray, ultrasound and blood-test results immediate?

Timing depends on the test, urgency and specialist reporting. Tell the team when the result is needed before booking.
