Staying healthy in Vietnam: Here’s what you need to know

When visiting Vietnam, healthcare quality can differ greatly depending on the location and the type of facility. Here's a quick guide to help you stay healthy.

Make sure to stay updated on routine vaccines

Medical facilities

  • There are international standard clinics and hospitals in major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. These facilities are generally equipped with modern medical equipment and staffed by skilled healthcare professionals, including English-speaking doctors.

  • In rural or remote areas of Vietnam, medical facilities are basic. They may not have the capacity to handle severe medical conditions. Medical evacuation to a city or another country might be necessary in such cases.

  • Pharmacies are widely available in urban areas, and many over-the-counter medications are easy to obtain. However, it's essential to be cautious about the quality and authenticity of the medication. It's recommended to go to reputable pharmacies attached to hospitals or clinics for prescription drugs.

Health insurance

We recommend taking out travel health insurance before you travel anywhere from any destination.

All the major cities in Vietnam will have private medical care, but it can get expensive. You should choose travel insurance with high limits.

Contact your insurance provider before traveling to ensure you have the right level of coverage.

Other areas to consider getting coverage for:

  • Trip cancellations and delays.

  • Medical expenses and medical evacuation.

  • Lost baggage.

Things to be aware of when visiting Vietnam

Keep an extra eye on the following to keep healthy and safe during your trip to Vietnam:

  1. Food and water safety: Exercise caution with food and water to avoid traveler's diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues. Eat well-cooked food, avoid raw vegetables and fruits you can't peel, and drink bottled or filtered water.

  2. Mosquito-borne diseases: Vietnam has a risk of mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue fever, Zika virus, and malaria in some rural areas. Using insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved shirts and trousers, and sleeping under a mosquito net can help prevent bites.

  3. Heat and humidity: Vietnam's climate can be hot and humid. Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun with hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Avoid heatstroke by staying in the shade during the hottest parts of the day.

Medication for personal use

Follow these tips to bring over-the-counter medicines into Vietnam:

  • Declare all medications: Report all medicines for personal use to customs.

  • Original packaging: Keep medicines in original packaging and carry a prescription or doctor’s note, preferably in English.

  • Prescription or doctor's letter: Present the medical prescription issued by your doctor or other competent authority, preferably in English.

  • Check for restrictions: Contact your nearest Vietnamese embassy to verify that all of your prescription(s) are legal to bring with you.

  • Carry what you need: Bring only a reasonable quantity that aligns with the duration of your stay to avoid complications.
