Hospitals
Every card says why to go, what to know before you do, and what catches people out.
Nearest international-standard hospital heads-up
Vinmec Nha Trang · 137 km, 3–4 h
Da Lat has no international hospital — no FV, no Vinmec, no Family Medical Practice. Vinmec Nha Trang at 137 km is the closest, and materially faster to reach than Saigon.
Worth knowing. For anything planned or complex, Ho Chi Minh City has FV Hospital and Vinmec Central Park, both JCI-accredited with direct billing, plus Family Medical Practice which has English, French and Russian speakers and runs medevac.
Careful. Insurance with medical evacuation cover is the single most important decision a family makes before moving here.

The highest-capability facility in the province and the default destination for a real emergency. Phone +84 263 3827 528.
Long Tho Hill, Mimosa Pass
The largest private general hospital in Da Lat and the realistic first stop for a foreign family. Under one roof: specialist consultations, surgery, obstetrics and paediatrics, with the hospital's own laboratory, CT, MRI, X-ray and ultrasound; part of the Hoan My group, one of the biggest private healthcare networks in the country. Some of the doctors and staff speak English.
The A&E deserves its own note: it runs around the clock and takes adults and children. We tested it ourselves — a child split his head open, was seen at once, stitched and sent home with medicines; the whole visit came to 1.1M₫, about forty-two dollars, medicines included. There is no separate children's A&E; children are seen in the general one.
