Travellers to Vietnam should take precautions as they would elsewhere in Asia. Western medical facilities are available in the major cities. In remote areas of Vietnam, medical facilities are basic. Some of the diseases known to exist in Vietnam include hepatitis A and B, typhoid, tuberculosis, Japanese encephalitis, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, rabies and HIV/AIDS. We recommend you take adequate preventative measures to minimise your risk of exposure to these health risks. We are a travel company and we are not qualified to provide detailed medical information appropriate to your individual needs; we recommend you consult with your local doctor or a specialist travel medical centre for up-to-date health information on vaccinations and medicine for your trip at least one month prior to departure.

Health: 

Travellers to Vietnam should take precautions as they would elsewhere in Asia. There are now a number of international standard medical care facilities available in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Outside these cities, medical care facilities are more basic. We strongly recommend you consult your preferred doctor for the most up-to-date health advice at least one month prior to travel.
