Hi,

My husband works for an INGO and we are considering moving back to SE Asia in the next year. I have visited Laos before and think Vientiane would be a nice city in which to live. We have two small children and would like to know about the medical care for children. What type of medical care is available for routine illnesses or emergencies? Are there any expatriate or internationally trained pediatricians in town? To which doctors or clinics do most expats take their children? We are US citizens, and I understand the clinic at the Aus. embassy is only for Commonwealth citizens?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Pediatrician? There are Lao pediatricians at the Mother Child hospital. The French Embassy has a clinic here to which many expats go. The health care at this clinic is pretty good. They also have family plans that you can sign up for on a yearly basis. Nong Khai and Udon are not that far away. Not sure whether yanks can go to the Aussie clinic, but the French clinic is cheaper.
