What are medical services in Ho Chi Minh City like?

"Medical services in Ho Chi Minh City, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities. Public hospitals are often crowded and may have outdated equipment, while private hospitals and clinics offer higher quality care with modern facilities and English-speaking staff. International hospitals are also available, providing a range of specialized services and treatments. Pharmacies are widely accessible throughout the city, but it is recommended to bring any necessary prescription medications from home. It is important for visitors to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses, as the cost of treatment at private facilities can be high," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

"In Vietnam, most medication can be purchased just by going to the pharmacy, no doctor visit needed. Cheap, high quality, and convenient. Dental care was extremely high quality and very cheap. Basic medical care was also very high quality and very good prices. Specialist care was difficult because of language barriers," commented one expat who made the move to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
