In 2017, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism and the Department of Health inked a joint agreement on developing the city’s medical tourism products. Up to now, the program has conducted many effective activities to introduce and popularize medical tourism products, such as launching a website providing information related to medical units and medial-tourism services of the city’s medical tourism system.
So far, travel companies have introduced more than 30 tour packages combining health examinations, and cosmetic dental treatment with short sightseeing tours across the Southern metropolis.
According to Dr. Nguyen Van Vinh Chau, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, medical tourism facilities must meet the standards of professionalism, human resources, facilities, service quality, and financial services, to name but a few.
