International Hospitals and Clinics in Ho Chi Minh City for Expats

In short: Ho Chi Minh City’s English-speaking hospitals and clinics sit close to where expats rent. Family Medical Practice has clinics with 24/7 emergency care in District 1 and Thao Dien, Vinmec has a 24/7 emergency department inside Vinhomes Central Park in Binh Thanh, and FV Hospital is the large international hospital in the south of the city. A pre-booked specialist visit starts around VND 345,000 (about $13) at Vinmec and runs to VND 3.3 million (about $128) for a foreign doctor at American International Hospital.

We checked addresses, hours and fees in November 2026 on each provider’s website, the Australian Embassy’s July 2026 hospital list and the booking platform Medpro. Ward names follow the July 2025 merger. USD figures assume about VND 26,000 to the dollar, and prices change.

District 1: walk-in clinics close to the centre

Renters in District 1 have the widest choice. Family Medical Practice (FMP) has its main centre on the ground floor of Diamond Plaza on Le Duan. Clinic hours are 8:00–19:00 on weekdays and 8:00–17:00 on Saturday, and its emergency service runs 24/7.

Its team includes foreign GPs and paediatricians who speak English and, between them, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Mandarin.

Victoria Healthcare’s head office is on Dinh Tien Hoang in District 1. Raffles Medical has moved to 285B Dien Bien Phu, Xuan Hoa Ward, so ignore older lists that show Nam Ky Khoi Nghia.

Thao Dien, An Phu and Thu Thiem: clinics and hospitals in District 2

Families in Thao Dien have FMP’s centre on Thao Dien Street, with the same clinic hours and 24/7 emergency care. It covers more specialties than the District 1 site, including obstetrics and gynaecology, ENT, psychiatry and day surgery.

Victoria Healthcare’s District 2 clinic at 37-39 Luong Dinh Cua is in An Khanh Ward, convenient for Thu Thiem. In An Phu, American International Hospital (AIH) at 199 Nguyen Hoang has a 24/7 emergency line, \*1155, and a foreign doctor clinic.

Binh Thanh: Vinmec Central Park

Vinmec Central Park International Hospital sits inside the Vinhomes Central Park complex in Binh Thanh, near Landmark 81. Vinmec says its emergency department works 24/24, including weekends and holidays.

Medpro lists a pre-booked specialist visit at VND 345,000 (about $13). For tenants in Vinhomes Central Park, the hospital is a walk away, which matters with small children. Our Vinhomes Central Park guide explains the parks, school and towers.

FV Hospital and the south of the city

FV Hospital, the Franco-Vietnamese hospital, is at 6 Nguyen Luong Bang in Tan My Ward, the former District 7. FV says its A&E department runs 24/7.

From 1 January 2026, FV applies Vietnamese national health insurance to outpatient, inpatient and emergency care. That helps foreigners who hold a Vietnamese social health insurance card through a local job.

Visreal does not rent apartments in District 7. If you want to be near FV, District 4 is the closest area we cover, and FMP also has a weekday clinic at 41 Dang Duc Thuat in Phu My Hung.

What a visit costs and how insurance works

Most international clinics do not publish prices online, so ask when you book. Besides Vinmec, AIH lists VND 750,000 for a specialist, VND 1,280,000 for a senior doctor and VND 3,335,000 for a foreign doctor.

Many expats have an international health plan through their employer. FV and Victoria Healthcare advertise direct billing: the clinic bills the insurer and you pay what the plan does not cover. Ask your insurer which clinics near your apartment are in its network.

In an emergency

Vietnam’s public ambulance number is 115, but the New Zealand Embassy notes it is for Vietnamese speakers. For help in English, call a private line instead.

Who to call	Number
Public ambulance (Vietnamese)	115
Family Medical Practice emergency and ambulance	\*9999 or +84 28 3744 9000
FV Hospital A&E	+84 28 3511 3500
AIH emergency	\*1155
Vinmec Central Park hotline	+84 28 3622 1166

Ask your building’s reception which gate an ambulance should use, so you can tell the dispatcher.

Factoring healthcare into where you live

For most tenants, healthcare is a tiebreaker, not the main reason to pick a neighbourhood. It matters more for families with babies, pregnant tenants and anyone with a long-term condition: for them, 24/7 emergency care in Thao Dien, District 1 or Vinhomes Central Park is worth weighing.

From Visreal’s experience

In step 1 of our process, you share your brief: budget, move-in date, school and office. If a clinic matters, add it to the brief and we shortlist buildings with that in mind.

The tip our agents give at handover: write down the building’s address with the new ward name for your temporary residence registration, and keep a copy in your phone for taxis and ambulances. We help with that registration for free.
