Information Voluntarily Provided by Users: |
|
You can visit much of Bumrungrad Web without telling us who you are or providing
us with other personally identifiable information. Some areas of the Bumrungrad
Web allow you to contact us to ask questions or provide comments. When you communicate
with us and request a response, we ask for your name and contact information. We
use this information so that we can respond more efficiently and keep track of our
correspondence.
When you request an appointment we will ask for additional information. Our purpose
is to begin identifying your medical and timing needs so that we can propose or
schedule the appropriate services for you. This also helps us begin setting up a
record for you, so that registration is easier when you arrive at the hospital.
Finally, by requesting some basic information we discourage correspondence from
those who are not serious about their healthcare, or might be contacting us for
the wrong reasons. This allows us to focus more attention on patients who genuinely
seek our help.
