Hanh Phuc International Hospital

A hospital for maternity, children and expanding multispecialty care

Hanh Phuc International Hospital is a private hospital at 18 Binh Duong Boulevard, Binh Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. It has long published obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and assisted reproduction as core areas, and its current specialty directory also includes orthopaedics, cardiology, gastroenterology, neurosciences, general surgery, plastic surgery and health screening. The main campus provides hospital-level care and a 24-hour emergency department; it should not be confused with Hanh Phuc International Clinic at Estella Place, which has a different address and outpatient schedule.

The hospital’s English website is useful for advance research, but it does not establish that every doctor, nurse or document is available in English. International patients should confirm the language of the assigned clinical team when booking. If the case involves childbirth, surgery, fertility treatment or a child with complex needs, ask who will be responsible at each stage and how interpretation will work during consent, admission and discharge.

Vietnam Clinic also compares international hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City and international hospitals across Vietnam. Inclusion in those guides or this directory is not a recommendation or guarantee of clinical outcome.

Departments and diagnostic services

The official specialty page lists obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, fertility, orthopaedics, cardiology, gastroenterology, neurosciences, general surgery and aesthetic plastic surgery. It also publishes corporate and executive health screening and cancer-screening packages. Recent hospital information describes a diagnostic-imaging centre with a 128-slice CT scanner, gastrointestinal endoscopy, ultrasound, digital X-ray and mammography. The appropriate test depends on symptoms and medical assessment; a package or technology should not replace an individual consultation.

Hanh Phuc’s fertility centre says it first achieved certification from the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee in 2014. Patients considering IVF should ask whether the certification is current, which laboratory and clinicians will handle the cycle, what is included in the quotation and how embryos, genetic material and records are managed. Published accreditation history is useful context, but it does not predict an individual chance of pregnancy.

For maternity care, request a written explanation of antenatal appointments, delivery-team availability, anaesthesia, neonatal support, room category, companion rules and services excluded from the chosen package. For paediatric care, confirm whether the visit is routine, urgent or requires emergency assessment. Adult patients seeking newer specialties should verify that the department and required clinician are operating at the main hospital on the planned date.

Outpatient hours and emergency access

The hospital’s contact page publishes standard hours of 07:30–16:30 Monday to Saturday. The emergency clinic is open 24 hours a day. The main contact and appointment number is 1900 6765, and the official email is info@hanhphuchospital.com. Sunday routine outpatient hours are not listed for the hospital, so the profile does not assume a normal Sunday clinic. Call in advance for planned care and ask about holiday schedules.

The emergency department participates in Ho Chi Minh City’s 115 satellite emergency network. Hospital information says it receives and triages adult, paediatric and obstetric emergencies and manages presentations including stroke, myocardial infarction, major trauma and respiratory failure. In a life-threatening situation, call 115 or the hospital and follow the dispatcher’s instructions. Do not delay care to complete insurance authorisation or travel to a preferred campus.

The Estella clinic at 88 Song Hanh is a separate facility. When booking through the shared telephone number, state clearly that you need the main hospital at Binh Hoa and confirm the department. This is particularly important when admission, operating-theatre access, emergency care or maternity facilities may be needed.

Insurance, estimates and admission planning

Hanh Phuc now publishes acceptance of Vietnam social health insurance (BHYT) for medical examination and treatment. Coverage remains subject to national rules, eligibility, referrals and the specific service, so bring the valid insurance card and identification and ask what portion is reimbursable. The hospital also displays private insurance relationships and says it works with insurers on direct settlement; overseas patients should obtain branch-specific confirmation and pre-authorisation rather than relying on a logo list.

Before planned admission, request an itemised estimate covering the doctor, hospital room, operating theatre, anaesthesia, laboratory, imaging, medicines, supplies, implants, neonatal care and expected follow-up. Ask what deposit is due, what could change the total and when refunds or additional payments are processed. Maternity and screening packages can have exclusions even when the headline price appears comprehensive. Fertility cycles may involve separate medicine, laboratory, freezing, storage and future transfer charges.

Keep the insurer’s guarantee of payment, referral letter and claim contact available. If direct billing is declined, ask which documents will be provided for reimbursement. Medical necessity, cosmetic treatment, preventive screening and pre-existing conditions may be treated differently by the same policy. This profile does not promise coverage or list payment methods that the hospital has not clearly confirmed on its official pages.

Preparing for an appointment or admission

Bring a passport or Vietnamese identification, insurance documents, referral letters, current medicine and allergy lists, previous reports and relevant imaging. Pregnant patients should carry their antenatal record, blood-group information and recent test results. Parents should bring the child’s vaccination history, weight and notes on fever, fluid intake and urine output. Fertility patients may need records for both partners and documentation concerning previous cycles.

Ask whether fasting is required and which medicines to take on the morning of a test or procedure. Never stop anticoagulants, diabetes treatment or other prescribed medicine without case-specific instructions. Confirm the building, arrival time and registration desk, as well as whether a support person may attend. For surgery, clarify consent, expected length of stay, pain control, mobility restrictions and the plan if intensive or specialist care becomes necessary.

International patients should request interpretation for complex decisions rather than relying solely on family members or automated translation. Confirm whether discharge summaries, prescriptions and diagnostic reports can be provided in English and how images will be shared. If continuing care abroad, ask for generic medicine names and sufficient documentation before leaving Vietnam.

Maternity, fertility and paediatric questions

Families often choose Hanh Phuc for linked obstetric, newborn and paediatric services. Before selecting a delivery package, ask how the hospital handles premature birth, neonatal complications, emergency Caesarean delivery and transfer if a higher level of intensive care is needed. Confirm who attends the birth, what the package covers for the baby and whether additional examinations, vaccines or room upgrades are charged separately.

For fertility treatment, obtain a personalised plan rather than comparing only package names. It should specify investigations, stimulation medicine, monitoring, egg retrieval, anaesthesia, laboratory methods, embryo transfer, freezing and storage. Ask for realistic success information relevant to age and diagnosis, not a general marketing figure, and clarify consent for unused embryos and what happens if treatment stops early.

A child with breathing difficulty, severe dehydration, seizure, marked lethargy, a non-blanching rash or another rapidly worsening symptom needs urgent assessment. Call emergency services rather than waiting for a routine paediatric slot. For ordinary follow-up, confirm which paediatrician is available and bring growth, vaccination and medicine information.

Discharge, results and continuing care

Before leaving the hospital, make sure the written plan states the diagnosis, procedures performed, medicines, wound or activity instructions, warning signs and review date. Ask who will communicate pending pathology, imaging or laboratory results. Save the emergency and department contacts separately; the central appointment line may not be the correct route for an urgent postoperative or postpartum concern.

Seek urgent help for chest pain, new weakness or speech difficulty, severe bleeding, breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, seizures, rapidly worsening abdominal pain, or serious symptoms after surgery or childbirth. Newborn feeding difficulty, blue colour, breathing problems, fever or unusual unresponsiveness also require immediate clinical advice.

The main strength of a multispecialty hospital is coordination across departments, but patients should still verify which team owns the case. Ask who will review results, make referrals and provide ongoing prescriptions after discharge. A clear named follow-up route is especially important for travellers, fertility patients and families returning to another country.
