Bao Son Hospital Hanoi

Bao Son General Hospital is a private multidisciplinary hospital at 52 Nguyen Chi Thanh, Dong Da, Hanoi. Its published departments cover outpatient medicine, internal medicine, surgery and anaesthesia, obstetrics and family planning, diagnostic imaging, laboratory medicine, ENT, dentistry, paediatrics, plastic surgery and assisted reproduction. This is a general hospital rather than a clinic devoted only to dermatology or cosmetic procedures.

The hospital’s standard outpatient schedule is 07:30–21:00 every day, including public holidays when operations allow. It separately publishes 24-hour emergency and obstetric cover. For appointments and general enquiries, the official numbers are 1900 599 858 and 091 585 0770; email is info@baosonhospital.com.

Choosing the appropriate department

Bao Son’s outpatient department can be a practical starting point when a patient has a new problem and is unsure which specialist is needed. Its internal-medicine department covers conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disorders, while dedicated services include ENT, dentistry, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, surgery and diagnostic departments. Reception should be told the main symptom, how long it has been present and whether a previous doctor has already made a diagnosis.

The hospital also publishes health-check programmes, cancer-screening packages and medical examinations for company or overseas-employment requirements. A package is not automatically suitable for every patient or administrative purpose. Ask for the exact test list and bring any form supplied by an employer, school or immigration authority.

Travellers and expatriates should confirm whether an English-speaking clinician or interpreter is available for the requested appointment. The hospital maintains a Vietnamese website but does not publish a reliable clinic-wide language list, so language support should not be assumed from the private-hospital setting alone.

Emergency and 24-hour obstetric cover

Bao Son states that emergency duty and obstetric duty operate 24 hours a day. This is different from the 07:30–21:00 outpatient timetable. Call before travelling when possible, but do not delay urgent care for severe breathing difficulty, major bleeding, loss of consciousness, stroke signs, serious trauma or rapidly worsening illness.

Pregnant patients should seek urgent assessment for heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, seizures, suspected labour, fluid loss, severe headache with visual symptoms or reduced fetal movement. Bring antenatal records, blood group information and recent ultrasound reports if they are immediately accessible.

The emergency team may stabilise a patient and decide that admission, surgery or transfer is required. Visitors comparing facilities can consult Vietnam Clinic’s international hospitals in Hanoi, but a comparison page should never delay emergency contact.

Surgery, endoscopy and inpatient care

The official department directory identifies general surgery and anaesthesia-resuscitation as core hospital services. Published procedures include gastrointestinal endoscopy, laparoscopic appendicitis surgery, inguinal-hernia surgery and operations for selected gastric and colorectal cancers. The presence of a listed procedure does not mean it is appropriate or immediately available for every patient; consultation, testing and anaesthetic evaluation come first.

Bao Son’s facilities page describes operating rooms with positive pressure and one-way sterile airflow. It also lists Olympus digestive endoscopy equipment and imaging and laboratory systems. These are hospital-level resources, but equipment brands should not be treated as a guarantee of an individual result.

Patients considering an elective procedure should ask who will operate, what alternatives exist, expected admission length, anaesthesia plan, recovery limits and how complications are handled. Request a written estimate that distinguishes surgeon, anaesthesia, theatre, room, medicines, pathology and follow-up charges.

Women’s health, maternity and fertility services

The obstetrics and family-planning department provides gynaecological and maternity care. The hospital publishes maternity packages, prenatal NIPT screening, contraception, cervical treatment, uterine-fibroid surgery and postpartum screening. Standard obstetric consultations are listed from 07:30 to 16:30 daily, while obstetric duty continues around the clock.

Bao Son also has an assisted-reproduction unit. People seeking fertility care should bring previous hormone tests, semen analyses, imaging and treatment records. Ask which investigations must be repeated, how embryos or samples are stored, and which costs are excluded from a quoted cycle price.

For maternity planning, clarify which clinician will provide antenatal follow-up, what the package covers, neonatal arrangements and how an emergency caesarean or intensive care need would be managed. A package is an administrative bundle, not a prediction that pregnancy or delivery will follow a fixed course.

Paediatrics and family visits

The hospital publishes outpatient and inpatient paediatric services. In 2025 it announced a paediatric inpatient department with child-oriented rooms, accommodation for accompanying family members, nutrition support and an indoor play area. Parents should still confirm bed availability and visiting arrangements before a planned admission.

Bring the child’s vaccination record, medication doses, allergies and previous discharge summaries. For fever, note its duration and highest measured temperature. Infants with breathing difficulty, unusual sleepiness, dehydration, seizures or a concerning rash need prompt assessment rather than a routine booking.

Vaccination is listed among the hospital’s maternal and child services. Ask in advance which vaccine and manufacturer are available, the recommended schedule and what documentation will be issued, particularly when records must be recognised outside Vietnam.

Diagnostics and preparing for tests

Bao Son has dedicated imaging and laboratory departments. Its laboratory page describes biochemistry, haematology, immunology, microbiology, culture and antibiotic-sensitivity testing. Imaging and endoscopy preparation varies: some tests require fasting, a full bladder, medication changes or an escort after sedation.

Do not stop prescribed medicine without clinical instructions. When booking, provide the exact test name and ask about food, drink, diabetes medication, anticoagulants and arrival time. Bring previous images and reports so that clinicians can compare results and avoid unnecessary repetition.

Ask when results will be ready, whether they appear in the online record system and which doctor will interpret them. A laboratory or imaging result should be considered alongside symptoms and examination rather than used as a diagnosis in isolation.

Insurance, registration and payment

The hospital website includes routes for insurance examination, payment information and a published service-price list. It does not provide a stable, exhaustive list of insurers that can be safely copied into this profile. International patients should contact both the hospital and insurer to verify direct billing, pre-authorisation, deposits and exclusions.

Bring a passport or other identification, insurance card and referral documents. Ensure the spelling on invoices matches the policy. Request an itemised invoice, medical report, prescriptions and copies of results for reimbursement or later care abroad.

The hospital publishes healthcare operating licence 177/BYT-GPHD, issued by Vietnam’s Ministry of Health on 29 March 2021. It also lists a separate pharmacy-business certificate. The licence supports the hospital’s legal identity; it does not mean that every service is covered by every insurance plan.

Address, arrival and follow-up

Bao Son General Hospital is at 52 Nguyễn Chí Thanh, Đống Đa, Hà Nội. Save the Vietnamese address for a driver and allow additional travel time during peak traffic. The public site provides online booking and patient-record lookup, but submitting a request does not replace confirmation of the doctor and time.

For a first appointment, bring a concise medical history, current medication and allergies. After the visit, confirm the working diagnosis, tests, warning signs, follow-up date and the number to call if symptoms worsen. If the hospital cannot provide a required service, ask for a documented referral or transfer plan rather than arranging complex care without records.
