How are healthcare services in Da Nang?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Da Nang, they replied...
"Healthcare services in Da Nang, are a mix of public and private facilities, offering various levels of care to residents and visitors. The public healthcare system consists of general hospitals, specialized hospitals, and local health centers. These facilities are often crowded and may have limited resources, outdated equipment, and long waiting times. The quality of care in public hospitals can vary, and language barriers may be an issue for non-Vietnamese speakers. On the other hand, private healthcare facilities in Da Nang offer a higher standard of care, with modern equipment, well-trained staff, and shorter waiting times. Many private hospitals and clinics have English-speaking doctors and offer a wide range of services, including general medicine, dental care, and specialist consultations. Some of the well-known private healthcare providers in Da Nang are Family Medical Practice, Vinmec International Hospital, and Hoan My Da Nang Hospital. In addition to hospitals and clinics, there are numerous pharmacies throughout the city where over-the-counter and prescription medications can be purchased. It is essential to have comprehensive health insurance when seeking medical care in Da Nang, as the cost of treatment in private facilities can be high. Overall, healthcare services in Da Nang are accessible and offer various options for residents and visitors. However, it is recommended to seek treatment at private facilities for a higher standard of care and to ensure effective communication with healthcare professionals," said a member in Da Nang, Vietnam.
