Clinics & Hospitals

The journey to find a place to see a doctor in Phu Quoc should start by asking yourself: do you just need a routine examination or are you in an emergency? Clinics are often located intertwined in crowded residential areas. However, if there are signs of worsening or having an accident, call an emergency immediately or go directly to the nearest medical facility that is capable of receiving you.

How to prepare?

For non-emergency minor illnesses, before going to the clinic or hospital, you should call in advance to ask about the hours, services, estimated costs, and necessary documents to bring. If you have travel insurance, keep a support hotline number and ask for the procedure for guaranteeing hospital fees. Don't forget to bring a list of medications you are taking and information about your body's allergies.

Situations to keep in mind

The directory can give you your address and phone number, but it doesn't guarantee that there is a doctor on duty or the right specialty you need at that time. In a critical situation, don't waste precious time reading reviews online or waiting for a confirmation message before leaving.

Before you go

  • Immediately save the phone number of the medical facility and the travel insurance hotline to the computer.
  • Always carry identification, along with information about medications you are taking or a history of allergies.
  • If the illness is mild, call to get tested before you arrive.
  • Experiencing shortness of breath, heavy blood loss or unconsciousness, do not hesitate to call an emergency immediately.
