Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Laos if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Vientiane, the capital of Laos, is home to a wide variety of medical specialists, including general practitioners, specialists in internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics. The city also has a number of hospitals and clinics that offer a range of services, including emergency care, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory testing. Other cities in Laos with a good selection of medical specialists include Luang Prabang, Savannakhet, and Pakse. Additionally, the provinces of Champasak and Xieng Khouang have a number of medical specialists, including general practitioners, obstetricians, and gynecologists," commented one expat who made the move to Laos.
