Is healthcare in Ho Chi Minh City good enough for surgery, or should I go elsewhere (like Bangkok)?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 10 days ago
TL;DR
Opinions are mixed: for serious surgeries many recommend flying to Bangkok instead, but Ho Chi Minh City does have individual well-regarded doctors — including a Vietnamese surgeon trained in Moscow who attracts international patients for plastic surgery.
What the community said
Overall healthcare in Vietnam is considered weaker than in neighboring countries. For serious medical issues, it's better to consider flying to Bangkok, where the standard of care is higher.
