I am just wondering what the care is like for having a baby in Ho Chi Minh City. Is it safe? What are the hospitals like?

Any advice would be so helpful.

VN's doctors are some of the best in the world at child birth,and mending broken bones: that's all they do!

There are plenty of hospitals, and most are modern (in Saigon that I know).

Franco-Vietnamese is one of the better ones.

"for Vietnam" Saigon has the "most" modern hospitals / clinics.

"most" of them would not compare to the regal European health care facilities Very Happy

Who said you need a "modern" facility for child birth? Vietnamese doctors are like the MacGyvers of the Womb!

The cost of having a baby in Vietnam is also a lot less than most places. In the USA, when my wife had our son it cost 20,000 USD. Thank god for insurance. It was a natural child birth with some medicine for pain. In Vietnam, the same process would have cost us about 1,000 USD at the Franco Vietnamese hospital in District 7. Which is modern, clean, has French Doctors, and European trained Vietnamese doctors. Considering that we pay 12,000 a year for full coverage insurance in America for a family of three;my school paid half of this premium. Well, do the math.... cheap and safe! Sign me up!
