Planning a health checkup in Vietnam

Vietnam has become a popular destination for international patients seeking high-quality, affordable medical care. A comprehensive health checkup at an internationally accredited hospital costs a fraction of equivalent care in the US, UK, or Australia.

What to expect on the day

Most comprehensive checkups are completed within a single day. A typical schedule includes:

Fasting blood and urine tests in the morning
Imaging such as ultrasound, X-ray, and CT or MRI as needed
Specialist consultations and a final review

Getting your results

Many results are available the same day, with a full comprehensive report typically ready within 1 to 3 business days, provided in English.
