Top international and premium private hospitals in Da Nang

Hoan My Da Nang Hospital
- Location: 291 Nguyễn Văn Linh Street, Thanh Khê District.
This is part of a leading private hospital network in Vietnam, known for offering a great balance between high quality and affordability. Hoan My is a highly respected hospital and is part of Vietnam’s largest private healthcare corporation. It is an excellent choice that offers high-quality care at a more accessible cost than Vinmec.
They provide multi-specialty care, with strong departments in Cardiology (heart issues), Gastroenterology (stomach issues), Orthopedics (bones and joints), and Women’s Health. Hoan My has a dedicated international patient department and is accustomed to treating foreign visitors with high service standards and good English support.
Other highly recommended private facilities
For less serious issues, these clinics are excellent, fast, and convenient.
| Facility | Type | Key focus | Best for |
| Family Medical Practice (FMP) | Foreign-Operated Clinic | Primary Care, Vaccinations, Minor Emergencies. | Quick, non-life-threatening issues like a fever, stomach upset, or a minor injury, where clear English communication is your top priority. |
| Tam Tri Hospital | Private General Hospital | Specialized services, Health Screening Packages. | Patients who are looking for the comfort of a private hospital, quick service, and specific specialized treatments. |
| Pasteur General Clinic | Large Outpatient Clinic | General Consultations, Minor Procedures. | Expats and tourists who need convenient access to a doctor for general medical services in the city center. |
Reliable local and specialty hospitals (public sector)
These are the large, government-run hospitals. They offer advanced care, and the costs are lower, but you should be prepared for longer waiting times and potentially less consistent English communication.
Da Nang General Hospital
- Location: Hai Phong Street, Hai Chau District.
This is the central public general hospital and the largest in all of Central Vietnam. It handles the highest volume of patients and is the main center for severe cases and major trauma.
They have a comprehensive 24/7 Emergency Department and are the top facility for serious trauma, neurology, and complex surgeries.
Note for tourists: In a life-threatening emergency or a serious accident, this is the hospital with the most advanced trauma equipment. However, for any routine or less severe medical issues, Vietnamstory.in strongly recommends you use one of the private hospitals to avoid very long waits and potential language barriers.
Specialty public hospitals
- Da Nang Hospital for Women and Children: This is an essential hospital for families. It is highly specialized in Obstetrics, Gynecology, and all aspects of Pediatrics (children’s health). If your child gets sick, this is the best place to go.
- Da Nang Traditional Medicine Hospital: For those interested in alternative therapies, this hospital provides unique traditional Vietnamese and Chinese medical treatments, including acupuncture and herbal therapy.
Essential medical services for tourists and expats
Here’s a quick summary of where to go for what you need.
- 24/7 Emergency: For the best international service and English support, go to Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital. For a major accident or serious trauma, Da Nang General Hospital is the most equipped. Always try to call the hospital’s emergency number first.
- Health check-ups & visa requirements: If you need a medical examination certificate for a work permit or a long-term visa, Vinmec and Hoan My are the most reliable and efficient choices.
- Outpatient care (Non-emergencies): For common travel ailments like fever, stomach issues, or minor injuries, going to Family Medical Practice (FMP) or Pasteur General Clinic is an excellent, quick, and convenient option.
- Language support: While Vinmec has dedicated interpreters, it is always a good idea to keep a translation app like Google Translate on your phone or have the number of a local contact (like your guide from Vietnam Story!) handy in case you need help with communication.

Practical tips for accessing healthcare
Please read this section carefully. It is very important.
- Travel insurance is mandatory: This is non-negotiable. Healthcare at private international hospitals can be expensive. You must have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies and, ideally, medical evacuation. Before you receive any major treatment, confirm with the hospital if they have a direct billing arrangement with your insurance provider.
- Payment & cost: Private hospitals accept cash (VND) and all major credit cards. Public hospitals often prefer that you pay in cash upfront for services.
- Documentation: Always carry your Passport and a copy of your Visa with you. If you have any chronic medical conditions, it is a very good idea to bring a brief, clear summary of your medical history written in English, along with a list of your current medications (with their generic names) and any known allergies.
- Ambulance service: The national emergency number is 115, but the response can sometimes be slow. For the fastest and most reliable private ambulance service, we strongly recommend you call the 24/7 emergency hotline of a private hospital like Vinmec directly.
