The healthcare industry, both on a global scale and specifically within Vietnam’s pharmaceutical sector, is experiencing rapid growth. This can be attributed to broad efforts to improve accessibility and affordability.

Furthermore, higher disposable incomes and an aging population are driving greater expenditure on healthcare services, particularly in pharmaceuticals, and subsequently greater investment in the sector.

Vietnam’s healthcare market, valued at US$16.2 billion in 2020, accounts for 6 percent of GDP. Expenditure on health is also expected to rise to US$20.3 billion in 2025 and US$33.8 billion in 2030. This is in line with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6 percent between 2020 and 2030, according to Vietnam Report.

A part of this will be driven by medical tourism services.

In this respect, Vietnam is gradually gaining recognition as a preferred destination for medical tourism, particularly in the field of dental care due to its commendable quality and affordability, according to International Living. In particular, dental procedures in Vietnam are substantially more cost-effective compared to the United States, while still maintaining a high standard of care.

Vietnam’s major towns and cities have international dental clinics with English-speaking dentists, attracting foreign patients from the US, Australia, and Europe. These patients benefit from cost savings and cultural experiences, often extending their stay to engage in tourism activities.

As a medical tourism destination, Vietnam is relatively unknown.The quality and accessibility of healthcare services in Vietnam are not well known in key medical tourist source countries. As a result, potential medical tourists often have reservations with respect to safety, hygiene, the language barrier, or the legal aspects involved in seeking medical treatment abroad.

Key stakeholders, including the government, private sector, medical institutions, travel agencies, and hotels, lack a comprehensive approach to medical tourism. Additionally, a lack of clear regulations and quality assurance standards exacerbates customer satisfaction challenges in the medical tourism experience.
