As a foreigner living in Vietnam, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Vietnam if they have access to public healthcare in Vietnam. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Vietnam have access to public healthcare. The quality of care varies depending on the facility, but generally the public healthcare system is considered to be of good quality. The cost of care is also relatively low compared to other countries, making it an attractive option for those living in Vietnam. Additionally, many public hospitals offer services in English, making it easier for foreigners to access care," said another expat in Vietnam.
