It is a fact that a pleasant environment and a happy frame of mind contribute towards a patient’s speedy recovery. Everyone associated with FV Hospital shares this belief and, as such, will do whatever possible to make your stay as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. It goes without saying that medical and nursing care must be excellent, but modern hospitals must also provide excellent non-medical care, too.
The customer services needed, provided and expected in a modern hospital are not unlike those provided in a 5-star hotel. The Customer Service Manager supervises all administrative information flow (phone operators, information booth, information literature, front desk, translation services and admission officer), signage and interior decoration, organisation of waiting and public areas, VIP lounge, guest relations, transportation and all in-patient, out-patient hotel services detailed below.
Information Provided to You
At FVH, we believe in being open and forthright in information sharing. Patients and the public may enquire about any aspect of procedures, treatments and facilities we provide in several ways; by calling General Enquiries (84-8) 5411 33 33; by visiting or calling ((84-8) 5411 34 70) the Information Office situated in the Main Lobby; through the many free brochures - displayed in the Main Lobby - which detail (in Vietnamese, French and English) the services provided by every department, pricing & packages, membership programmes and general information; or, by accessing the various pages of our website.
Patients are encouraged to participate in their healthcare procedure by asking questions of the attending physician and nursing staff. The attending physician will explain, in clear terms, all aspects of their care and condition and all proposed tests, procedures and medication (and the cost consequences where applicable) before any such action is undertaken.
Complaints and Suggestions
Our Guest Relations Manager is always available to you, should you have any complaints or suggestions to make. At FVH, we take any and all complaints and suggestions very seriously and act upon them in a prompt and positive manner.
We encourage such dialogue as it is in keeping with our stated goal of continuously striving to provide premier medical and non-medical services to our patients. Please contact our Guest Relations Manager direct on such issues: (84-8) 5411 34 56.

Respect of confidentiality
A patient’s privacy, personal dignity and liberty are strictly enforced throughout their stay or consultation. All such information is treated as confidential and will only be shared on a need to know basis with the relevant hospital personnel.
Translation Services
Being an international hospital, we understand that for some of our patients, communication with their physician can be challenging. Most of our nurses speak Vietnamese and, either, French or English. We also have internal translators in Japanese, Korean, Thai, Khmer, Mandarin and Cantonese. If you find difficulty in communicating your needs, or if you require a translator to speak with your doctor in more detail, please allow your head nurse to arrange it for you. There may be an additional charge for an external translator, if one is not available on site.

The regular service runs between the Sales & Information Office, at Le Thanh Ton, in District 1 and will drive you right to the hospital reception front door. The service operates Monday to Saturday.
