"Healthcare services in Can Tho are continually improving, with several hospitals and clinics available for residents and visitors. The city has both public and private healthcare facilities, offering a range of medical services. Public hospitals, such as Can Tho General Hospital and Can Tho Central General Hospital, provide affordable care, but may be crowded and have long wait times. Private hospitals and clinics, on the other hand, offer faster service and more comfortable facilities, but at a higher cost. These private facilities often have English-speaking staff, making them a popular choice for foreigners. In terms of specialized care, Can Tho has facilities such as the Can Tho Eye Hospital and Can Tho Oncology Hospital. The city is also home to several pharmacies where prescription and over-the-counter medications can be purchased. Despite these services, more complex medical issues may require travel to larger cities like Ho Chi Minh City. It's also worth noting that while healthcare in Can Tho is generally affordable, it's recommended for visitors to have travel insurance to cover any potential medical costs," said another expat in Can Tho, Vietnam.
