The radio broadcaster reported that Viet Nam has become famous throughout the world for its traditional medicine such as acupuncture, with a large number of skillful doctors, including Dr. Nguyen Tai Thu, a world-renowned acupuncturist.
Many leaders and officials of foreign countries have been treated successfully by Vietnamese specialists in that Asian traditional medical procedure.
Viet Nam’s Central Acupuncture Institute receives many foreign tourists annually, the BBC said, adding that some hospitals in Viet Nam have been equipped with state-of-the-art instruments that can provide high-quality medical treatment services at a competitive cost.
However, according to the BBC, the number of foreign medical tourists to Viet Nam does not live up to the country’s potential because of its poor marketing activities and shortage of doctors fluent in foreign languages.-Enditem
