How the Vietnam healthcare system works — public vs private care, eligibility, and costs for residents and visitors.
Vietnam healthcare combines public hospitals, private providers and social health insurance. Foreign workers under eligible labour contracts may contribute to health insurance through payroll.
- Vietnam Social Security states foreign employees’ compulsory insurance can include an employee health-insurance contribution.
- Public insurance is important, but many expatriates still use private cover for provider choice, evacuation and international treatment.
- Check hospital network, direct billing and language support before relying on a plan.
