除了生態旅遊，農業旅遊和內陸水路旅遊以外，醫療旅遊是新興市場，在越南和胡志明市具有巨大的發展潛力，尤其是越南在遏制冠狀病毒方面取得了國際公認的成就。
數據顯示，越來越多的外國遊客來越南接受醫療保健服務，收入估計為20億美元。
2018年，約30萬外國人抵達越南進行健康檢查，其中5.7萬接受了住院治療，其中40％在胡志明市接受了治療。
這些數字表明，未來越南醫療旅遊業發展潛力巨大。＊
Ho Chi Minh City launches Vietnam's first website to promote medical tourism
Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Tourism and Department of Health have collaborated to introduce the first website in Vietnam aimed at promoting medical tourism.
The website was unveiled at a medical tourism conference in Ho Chi Minh City on Friday.
Available at dulichytetphcm.com, the website provides visitors with official information about the healthcare facilities and services on offer in the city.
Tourists to the city can enjoy medical packages for services such as dental care, gynecology, health screening, aesthetic medicine, and traditional medicine.
In addition to high-quality health professionals, medical services in Ho Chi Minh City also offer more accessibility and competitive pricing compared to other countries in the region, the municipal tourism and health departments said.
In the immediate future, the medical tourism packages will be available on an on-demand basis.
More packages are expected to be launched in the future to meet wider healthcare needs while aiming to attract both domestic and foreign tourists.
In addition to ecotourism, agritourism and inland waterway tourism, medical tourism is an emerging sector with great potential for growth in Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City, especially as the Southeast Asian country has been internationally recognized for sucessfully containing the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, said Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa, deputy director of the municipal tourism department.
Data shows that more and more foreign tourists are coming to Vietnam for healthcare services, with the sector valued at around US$2 billion.
In 2018, about 300,000 foreigners arrived in Vietnam for health examinations, with 57,000 receiving in-patient care, 40 percent of whom received treatment in Ho Chi Minh City.
Such figures indicate great potential for the development of medical tourism in Vietnam in the future.
