Where can I purchase health insurance? For myself only - hospitalization only. I'm an American teacher in SG.

I think health insurance can be purchased at HSBC bank. They have all the information available in English. I think the cost for basic health insurance is something like 1.5-2.0 million per year!

I'm not sure about all the details but hope this helps.

Bao Viet is a major VN insurance company with coverage in SG. They've got a website.

NB! Make well sure you are clear that your plan is accepted by the hospital of your choice and that the hospital has an agreement to bill the provider rather than demand cash from the patient, which is the norm in Vietnam.

I think that this is a good alternative if you're in Saigon...

Note that the HSBC plans are all underwritten by Bao Viet.

I couldn't make heads or tails of the HSBC plans, so I'm going to talk it out with them. Their premium/benes tables are confusing to say the least...
