    Pros and cons of using Vietnam's local healthcare system

    Ventajas

    • Affordable services make public healthcare a cheaper option for many.

    Inconvenientes

    • Limited access in remote areas means you may find you have to travel long distances for care.
    • Long wait times are also common, due to the lack of facilities across much of the nation’s rural areas.
    • Public hospital professionals tend to speak Vietnamese only, which may make communication a challenge if you don’t speak the language.

    Offers shorter wait times.

    Rural areas can be lacking in healthcare options, with reduced or non-existent facilities.

    -

    Multilingual staff speak English and French

    -

    You may find that hospitals charge higher fees for expats, making medical insurance a necessity.

    How can international health insurance help you in Vietnam?

    Non-residents can face higher fees in many private facilities, making expat health insurance in Vietnam essential. You’ll also be expected to pay into the compulsory social security cover while you live in Vietnam. This applies to all expats with work permits, practice certificates or licences and the total charge depends on your salary.

     

    Private care is usually of better quality, with more treatment options and multilingual doctors. You may also find that private is the only option in some rural and remote areas, meaning insurance is effectively a requirement if you want to access medical care.
