Da Nang Rehabilitation Hospital

Da Nang Rehabilitation Hospital is a public specialist hospital under the city’s Department of Health. Its main campus is at 79 Dinh Gia Trinh Street, Hoa Xuan Ward, Da Nang, and the hospital also publishes a second facility at 6 Phan Chau Trinh Street, Hai Chau Ward. It should not be confused with Da Nang Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Hospital, which is a separate institution.

The hospital provides inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, adult and paediatric programmes, traditional medicine, internal medicine, emergency assessment and diagnostic support. Its official site describes rehabilitation after stroke, spinal-cord injury, neurological and musculoskeletal illness, trauma and sports injury, together with assistive devices and hydrotherapy.

Adult rehabilitation pathways

The adult rehabilitation department works with people who have impaired movement or function following illness, injury or disability. Published areas include post-stroke rehabilitation, spinal-cord injury, neurological conditions, musculoskeletal disorders and recovery after trauma. Treatment may involve physical therapy, functional training, equipment and an individual programme rather than one isolated session.

Patients should bring hospital discharge papers, imaging, operative reports and a current medication list. It is useful to identify practical goals such as transferring safely, walking, using the hands, returning to self-care or preparing for work. The rehabilitation team can then assess which goals are realistic and what support is needed.

The official department page also mentions assistive and orthotic devices. Ask whether assessment, fabrication, fitting and later adjustment are available for the device required. A poorly fitted aid can create pressure injury or unsafe movement, so it should not be chosen solely from photographs or price.

Vietnam Clinic’s comparison of physiotherapy and rehabilitation centres in Da Nang can help families understand other local options. Complex neurological rehabilitation, however, may require a hospital team rather than a wellness or sports-massage setting.

Paediatric rehabilitation and early intervention

The paediatric rehabilitation department publishes early screening and intervention for children with developmental difficulties. Its stated work includes children with autism, attention and hyperactivity difficulties, language-development disorders, speech-sound problems, cerebral palsy, consequences of brain injury and congenital conditions.

The hospital’s language-therapy unit was created to support children with communication difficulties. It describes assessment, family counselling and home intervention programmes. Parents should bring developmental records, hearing or vision results, school reports and examples of communication concerns. A multidisciplinary assessment may be needed because language delay can have different causes.

Families should ask who will perform each intervention, how progress will be measured and what activities should be practised at home. A diagnosis alone does not determine one standard programme. Frequency and goals need to reflect the child’s development, health, tolerance and family circumstances.

Traditional medicine within rehabilitation

The hospital has a traditional-medicine department that works alongside rehabilitation services. Its official material lists acupuncture, massage and acupressure, hydro-acupuncture and traditional medicines. These are clinical services within a hospital setting, but they are not automatically appropriate for every rehabilitation patient.

Tell the team about anticoagulants, pregnancy, implanted devices, skin infection, allergies and all medicines being taken. Ask what the proposed treatment is intended to achieve and how it fits with physical, occupational or speech-focused rehabilitation. Traditional techniques should not delay urgent investigation of new weakness, severe pain, fever or neurological deterioration.

Diagnostics and hospital departments

Da Nang Rehabilitation Hospital publishes laboratory testing, functional exploration and diagnostic imaging in support of care. Listed examples include haematology, biochemistry, microbiology, 4D ultrasound, electrocardiography and digital X-ray. The site also describes internal medicine, pharmacy and a department combining imaging, functional tests and laboratory work.

Patients should confirm whether a requested test is available at the relevant campus and whether preparation is required. Bring previous images and reports for comparison. Test results need interpretation by the treating team; a scan or laboratory value alone does not define the rehabilitation plan.

The hospital states that it operates continuously, while administrative working hours are published as 07:00–11:30 and 13:30–17:00 from Monday to Friday. This distinction matters: inpatient and duty services may continue outside office hours, but scheduled assessment, billing and particular therapists can follow narrower timetables.

Inpatient, outpatient and emergency access

Official hospital information describes examination, emergency assessment and both inpatient and outpatient treatment. A referral may be useful when transferring from an acute hospital, especially after stroke, surgery, spinal injury or severe trauma. Contact the hospital before discharge to clarify admission criteria, bed availability, required documents and which campus will receive the patient.

Rehabilitation hospitals are not substitutes for an acute emergency department when symptoms are new or unstable. Sudden facial droop, speech difficulty, one-sided weakness, severe chest pain, breathing difficulty, major trauma or loss of consciousness require immediate emergency care. Rehabilitation generally begins after urgent diagnosis and stabilisation.

For inpatient care, families should ask about accommodation for carers, meal arrangements, personal equipment and therapy frequency. The hospital’s nutrition team publishes work with clinical departments on therapeutic diets for patients with significant nutritional needs.

Two campuses and contact details

The hospital’s current website lists Campus 1 at 79 Dinh Gia Trinh, Hoa Xuan Ward and Campus 2 at 6 Phan Chau Trinh, Hai Chau Ward. A 2026 Department of Health notice also confirms the Dinh Gia Trinh address. Older government pages still show the hospital’s former My Da Dong address, which is why using the latest official records is important.

The website publishes contact number 0344 068 149 and email khth.cdt.phcn@gmail.com. Another official location page gives landline 0236 3952 704 and government email benhvienphcn@danang.gov.vn. When booking, state the patient’s age, diagnosis or main problem and ask explicitly which campus to attend.

International visitors should not assume that English interpretation is continuously available. Send medical summaries in advance if possible and ask whether an interpreter or English-speaking clinician can be arranged. Technical rehabilitation instructions need accurate communication, especially when carers must repeat exercises safely.

Insurance and practical preparation

The hospital publishes a route for Vietnamese health-insurance care and identifies itself as a public medical facility. Coverage depends on referral status, eligibility, service and current insurance rules. Foreign and private insurance arrangements are not documented sufficiently to list specific insurers here.

Bring identification, insurance or referral documents, recent reports and all medication. Wear clothing that allows movement assessment and bring any brace, wheelchair, cane or communication device currently used. If the patient has pressure sores, swallowing problems, seizures or behavioural risks, tell staff before arrival.

Ask for a written plan stating the main impairments, therapy goals, responsible departments, expected review point and home programme. Families travelling from outside Da Nang should also clarify how follow-up can continue locally after discharge.

Training role and service boundaries

The Department of Health lists the hospital as a practical-training facility, and the hospital describes clinical cooperation with health universities in Da Nang and elsewhere. Its 2025 practitioner register documents licensed roles in rehabilitation, internal medicine, traditional medicine and physical therapy.

That institutional role supports a multidisciplinary environment, but no profile can promise a particular outcome. Recovery varies with diagnosis, severity, time since injury, complications and participation. The most useful first step is a formal assessment that distinguishes rehabilitation needs from unresolved acute medical problems.
