City International Hospital (abbrev: CiH; Vietnamese: Bệnh viện Quốc tế City) is a care provider in Hoa Lâm Shangri-La Hi-Tech Medical Park of Tên Lửa planned community (originally named as An Lạc – Bình Trị Đông – Tân Tạo) in Bình Tân district, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
It was inaugurated originally in 2014 as Thành Đô International Hospital (Bệnh viện Quốc tế Thành Đô) and changed into the current name in the next year.[1][2] It is one of six private hospitals licensed by the Vietnam Ministry of Health for medical examination and treatment for foreigners.
City International Hospital is recognized for its specialized medical services, particularly through its Centre of Excellence in Stroke care.[3][4] The hospital also offers a range of services in general surgery, gastroenterology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, cardiology, and interventional radiology using digital subtraction angiography.
It has been included in the list of recommended international medical providers by the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Vietnam.[5] The hospital has been referenced by several media outlets including Voice of America and USNews in relation to healthcare and medical tourism in Vietnam.[6][7][8]
The hospital has also been showcased by Hospital Management Asia[9], Government Insider[10], The ASEAN Post [11], and Voice of America [12] as a rising leader in international-standard healthcare and medical tourism. In addition, it has contributed to efforts to broaden access to medical services by partnering with Pharmacity to launch Vietnam’s first walk-in clinic brand, the Pharmacity–CIH Convenient Care Clinic[13].
