Vietnam medical tourism development plans
Overview
The Vietnamese Ministry of Health has proposed a national medical tourism scheme for the 2026–2030 period. The draft proposal aims to establish a competitive ecosystem to attract international patients and reduce the number of Vietnamese citizens seeking treatment abroad. The plan identifies eight provinces and cities, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, as potential hubs based on their existing infrastructure and medical capacity. Key objectives include achieving international quality certification for at least 20 hospitals by 2030 and researching improved visa and residency policies for international patients.
At the local level, Hue City has announced a specific strategic plan to restructure its tourism sector for 2027–2030. The city aims to attract approximately 810,000 medical tourists annually by leveraging its reputation for high-tech services, such as organ transplantation and oncology treatment, alongside traditional medicine. Hue intends to integrate these healthcare services with wellness and leisure to build a specialized brand.
