What are emergency services like in Vietnam?
When we asked members about emergency services in Vietnam, they wrote...
"Emergency services in Vietnam are generally reliable and efficient. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial the national emergency number, 115. This number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is free of charge. The operator will then dispatch an ambulance to the location of the emergency," explained one expat living in Vietnam.
"My Hoan is the hospital that I used for the medical clearance needed to get a work permit. Women have babies delivered at the Women's hospital. There is a Cancer Hospital (Da Nang Oncology Hospital) which is actually, brand new. There is an expat Medical Center called, Family Medical. You can use them and they organize evacuations for urgent care," said another in Da Nang, Vietnam.
