Every single life counts

By May 11, Vietnam has recorded 288 positive COVID-19 cases, including 50 foreign patients.

Regardless of nationality, all patients received wholehearted treatments by Vietnamese doctors.

All-out efforts have been made to save the lives of patients in critical conditions.

No fatalities have been reported.

The recovery of the patients is not only their fortune, happiness but also a recognition and gratitude to doctors who treated them no matter where they come from.

Well the doctors and the medical staff at this hospital, they’ve been amazing, absolutely amazing!

Gareth Ward – UK Ambassador to Vietnam

I’d like to thank all of the doctors and nurses and all of government officials in Vietnam who have helped us to support British visitors during this time.

Under the government’s policy, foreigners to Vietnam receive COVID-19 test and undergo mandatory quarantine free of charge.

Irena – Serbian visitor

Everything is really great here. So, thanks to the hospital in Vietnam, we are safe here.

Those stranded in Vietnam get no penalty for overstay Vietnam visa during national social distancing.

They also receive supports in accommodation, and more.

Steve – British tourist

I feel very fortunate to be in Vietnam. The staff has recently helped me renew my visa, so I can live for a month. Hopefully I can renew, I don’t know if it’s possible. But if I can stay longer, I will.

Amid the global health crisis, the Vietnamese government shut its borders to other countries.

Yet, multiple efforts have been exerted on special flights to bring stranded foreign people home.

Thousands of face masks and medical equipment were sent to China, Japan, the US, Russia and some other European nations to cope with the COVID-19 outbreak.

Kontantin Vnokov - Russian Ambassador to Vietnam

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the Vietnamese Government and people for supporting Russia in combating COVID-19. I firmly believe that together we can fight this virus./.
