A Tale of Two Hospitals



From the point of view of a potential expat, I wanted to find out more about medical facilities in the city. We had a chance to visit FV Hospital, which is one of the upper end hospitals in Saigon.  I was impressed with the comfortable feel of the building architecture, as well as the breadth of practice and treatment available.  The hospital is accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI).


We were also able to visit Cho Ray Hospital, which was run by the government.  Noticeably more patients, of course.  From the number of motorcycles in the parking lot (Vietnam is probably the motorcycle capital of the world), I was mentally preparing for visuals of extreme bed congestion, but there was nothing of the sort.  The Philippine General Hospital still takes the cake on that issue.
