pediatrician in Vientiane?

15 years ago

Hi,

My husband works for an INGO and we are considering moving back to SE Asia in the next year. I have visited Laos before and think Vientiane would be a nice city in which to live. We have two small children and would like to know about the medical care for children. What type of medical care is available for routine illnesses or emergencies? Are there any expatriate or internationally trained pediatricians in town? To which doctors or clinics do most expats take their children? We are US citizens, and I understand the clinic at the Aus. embassy is only for Commonwealth citizens?

Thank you in advance for your response.
