The Vietnam Medical Tourism Alliance (VMTA) was officially launched in Hanoi on April 7, aiming to promote Vietnam as a leading global hub for integrated medical tourism.

The alliance targets attracting an additional 1–2 million medical tourists, extending the average length of stay from 7–8 nights to 15–30 nights, and generating annual revenue of $3–5 billion.

Established under the guidance of the Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT) and the Medical Services Administration, the VMTA brings together organizations operating across healthcare, tourism, technology and finance.

The alliance’s core mission includes integrating and effectively utilizing national resources, standardizing medical tourism services to international benchmarks, and building a seamless, transparent and personalized patient journey. It also seeks to promote a digital ecosystem while enhancing Vietnam’s position on the global medical tourism map.

Technology is expected to play a pivotal role, connecting all components within the ecosystem, ensuring smooth data flows and improving the overall customer experience.

According to the sector’s report, Vietnam’s medical tourism revenue exceeded $850 million in 2025 and has been growing at an annual rate of around 18%. If the trend continues, the market could reach approximately $4 billion by the early 2030s.
