With supports from international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), several thoracic surgeons and anesthetists came from the United States of America (US) to team up with Thai thoracic surgeons and anesthetists started the thoracic surgical serviced in several hospital such as Siriraj Hospital, Chulalongkorn Hospital and Nonthaburi Chest Hospital (currently, Central Chest Institute of Thailand, CCIT). Before 2500 B.E. the cardiac operation was firstly performed.
