Many overseas Vietnamese return home for comprehensive health check-ups, early disease detection

Barriers to early disease detection for overseas Vietnamese

In developed countries and regions with advanced science, people enjoy high-quality medical services and are fully covered by insurance. However, comprehensive health check-ups, early cancer and stroke screening are almost never accepted by health insurance if the patient does not have specific symptoms.

Cancer often has no symptoms at the onset. If symptoms appear, it means that the cancer cells have progressed and metastasized to other organs, making treatment difficult, ineffective, time-consuming, and costly . Early detection of cancer and stroke through screening is the most effective method to protect health. However, if this technique is performed in a country with a high level of medical care, the waiting time is long and the cost is expensive.

In Da Nang , many overseas Vietnamese People who come to Thien Nhan Hospital for cancer screening said that health care services where they live are very expensive. For example, if you get injured and have to go to the hospital for a day, you have to pay 120,000 USD, if you want to have a stomach endoscopy, you have to make an appointment 3-6 months in advance, and cancer screening costs 15,000 - 20,000 USD - 10 times more expensive than in Vietnam.

Another overseas Vietnamese shared that the language barrier is also a problem. Patients have difficulty describing their signs and symptoms to doctors. When doctors consult, explain results and treatment plans, patients do not understand the medical terms that the doctors convey.

Health check, cancer screening with international standards at reasonable cost

After the pandemic, many overseas Vietnamese returned home to visit family, travel and have health check-ups, which is increasing because the cost is low but the effectiveness can be comparable to that of developed countries.

Ms. Tran Thi Cuc - an overseas Vietnamese who has settled abroad said that although she has full insurance, each time she has to have a medical examination at each specialist where she lives, she has to make an appointment with a doctor for a very long time, from 1-2 months.

"This time I returned to Vietnam, I chose Thien Nhan Hospital to check the health of my three children. My first impression was that the customer care staff were very quick and enthusiastic. The doctors and nurses were dedicated and gave thorough advice. The equipment was modern, the environment was clean but the cost was very reasonable. I will introduce Thien Nhan's medical services to Germans and overseas Vietnamese, friends and colleagues," Ms. Cuc confided.

Like Ms. Cuc, during her return to Vietnam for Tet, Ms. Vuong Thi Bich Thuy - an Australian Vietnamese - came to Thien Nhan for a full body MRI and early cancer and stroke screening.

Ms. Bich Thuy shared: "Thien Nhan has a very modern MRI machine imported from Germany, which can screen for both cancer and stroke. I feel very secure when entrusting my health here."

Many experts say that Da Nang is one of the cities with great potential for developing medical tourism because it has mountains, seas, and many entertainment areas. Along with that, Da Nang has many hospitals with the most modern equipment in the world , and a team of specialized doctors that are not inferior to those in developed countries.

Ms. Cuc's family - Vietnamese expatriates in Germany are impressed with the quality service and reasonable prices at Thien Nhan Hospital.
