Testimonials

This is the executive management team that made Bumrungrad International what it is today — one of healthcare’s most fascinating success stories and the gold standard for the medical tourism industry.
Josef WoodmanCEO and Founder, Patients Beyond Borders
Actis engaged Intermedika to run diagnostics on one of our healthcare investments, Asiri Hospital Holdings in Sri Lanka. The team spent a few days on the ground and came back to us with a report identifying key opportunities and areas for improvement, which were then baked into our business plan. The business did spectacularly well resulting in a successful investment for Actis.
Asanka RodrigoPartner, Actis
Few individuals or organizations in healthcare have the knowledge and expertise in hospital management, branding and medical tourism that Intermedika Consulting offers. I know this first-hand, having worked with Curt and Ruben and other team members in Asia and the Middle East. They are subject matter experts who know their business, and, more importantly, have a track record to prove it.
Carl StaniferChairman and Group CEO, Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center, LLC
I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Curt and Ruben for many years. They combine strategic creativity with operational practicality to produce results that consistently exceed expectations.
Mack BannerSenior Director, Raffles Medical Group
What this team did for Bumrungrad International is nothing short of exceptional. Through skill, leadership and innovation they turned a small Thai hospital into one of the biggest international hospital brands and a model for the industry to follow.
Khawar MannManaging Director, The Abraaj Group
One of the best, if not the best, outfit in Asia for consulting and advisory support in the healthcare space. Wonderful to work with, a great team comprising individuals with expertise across multiple core disciplines. If you are looking for consulting support in healthcare, seek out Intermedika.
Kevin LohPartner, Creado
The Intermedika Consulting team is one of the few that combines C-suite level healthcare experience with a rich understanding of the global healthcare marketplace. That’s not just unique, it’s powerful.
Dale Van DemarkPartner, McDermott Will & Emery LLP
It’s rare that the most eloquent spokesman for a new industry also played a pivotal role in shaping it. Ruben may the smartest man in medical travel, and certainly the most provocative. He’s my go-to resource on the subject, and should be yours, too.
Greg LindsayCo-Author, Aerotroplis
Artemis Health Institute engaged Intermedika to perform a review of our business, which was good but not running at full potential. Over the course of 5 days, the team looked at everything from process flows to financials to room design and services. Their recommendations were insightful and helped us align our business, financials and marketing. We also increased patient satisfaction score by implementing control measures they recommended. Overall a very good engagement.
Sanjiv SharmaCOO, Artemis Health Institute
Intermedika provided us with solid guidance throughout our engagement. They clearly understand the players, markets and economics driving private healthcare in Asia.
Mark MansellVice President New Market Development, Cancer Treatment Centers of America
I have known the Intermedika team for over 20 years. I saw how they transformed Bumrungrad International into a healthcare icon and medical tourism into a global phenomenon. In the me-too world of healthcare advisory services, these guys are the standouts.
