?
As global travelers increasingly seek meaningful, wellness-oriented experiences, Danang¡ªVietnam¡¯s coastal gem¡ªis emerging as a compelling destination for high-quality medical tourism. Recognized for its scenic beaches, cultural richness, and modern infrastructure, the city is now preparing for a major breakthrough in health-related travel.
To gain deeper insights into this evolution, Forbes spoke with Dr. Tran Quoc Bao, a prominent leader in Asia¡¯s healthcare and wellness industry, about Danang¡¯s strategy and what the city must do to unlock its full potential in medical tourism.
________________________________________
Building a Strong Foundation for High-Quality Healthcare Travel
"Medical tourism is not a casual venture," says Dr. Tran. "It demands a robust ecosystem¡ªstate-of-the-art medical equipment, highly qualified healthcare professionals, strong aesthetic and wellness services, and even integration of traditional medicine practices." According to him, Danang is poised to deliver on these requirements.
The city has already ratified a strategic plan for developing medical tourism, aiming to blend its vibrant travel offerings with health services such as diagnostics, wellness retreats, cosmetic procedures, and traditional medicine therapies. ¡°What makes Danang stand out is its unique ability to integrate healthcare with world-class tourism experiences,¡± Dr. Tran explains.
________________________________________
Is Danang Late to the Game? Not Quite.
When asked whether Danang¡¯s entry into the medical tourism sector is delayed, Dr. Tran disagrees. ¡°It¡¯s not about who moves first¡ªit's about who builds the most sustainable and quality-driven ecosystem. The timing is right,¡± he affirms.
With global demand for wellness and medical travel surging post-pandemic, Danang¡¯s entry coincides with a pivotal moment. ¡°Patients and wellness travelers are now more focused on holistic health and value-for-money experiences. Danang, with its favorable cost structure and rising medical standards, is well-positioned,¡± he adds.
________________________________________
What Tourists Are Seeking
Though data specific to medical tourism usage is sparse, Dr. Tran notes a growing trend: ¡°We see strong demand for cosmetic enhancements, health screenings, physical conditioning programs, and traditional medicine experiences. These are areas where Vietnam¡ªand especially Danang¡ªhas a comparative advantage.¡±
These services are bolstered by a skilled medical workforce, advanced medical technology, and the allure of beachside recovery and relaxation¡ªa major draw for health-conscious travelers.
________________________________________
Competitive Advantages in a Global Arena
According to Dr. Tran, Danang¡¯s key strengths lie in affordability, accessibility, and quality care. ¡°Compared to other regional medical hubs like Bangkok or Seoul, Danang offers a more cost-effective experience without sacrificing safety or expertise,¡± he says.

Vietnam¡¯s Healthcare Visionary Joins Global CEO Ranks: Dr. Tran Quoc Bao, CEO...Gorman Bain Capital
?
In a major nod to Vietnam¡¯s growing clout in regional healthcare, Dr. Tran Quoc Bao, CEO and Board Member of Prima Medical Center Saigon, has been spotlighted this week by the Global CEO Community among the most influential new members across Asia-Pacific leadership circles.
Dr. Bao appears alongside power players such as Vivek Aranha of AIA, Anson Li of Kroll, and Tommy Wong of Mercedes-Benz HK in the June 18 issue of CXO WEEKLY (Vol. 425), a roundup of top-tier executive movements curated by global leadership advisor Gary Lam.
But Dr. Bao¡¯s inclusion stands out for one key reason: he is the only hospital CEO on the list¡ªrepresenting not just healthcare, but a bold new vision of cross-border medical innovation driven from Vietnam.
Under his leadership, Prima Saigon has earned acclaim as one of Asia¡¯s Top 10 Hospitals, blending international clinical standards with tech-forward infrastructure. Dr. Bao, who brings a rare mix of medical insight and financial strategy (MBA, CFA, CMT, FMVA among his titles), has also recently been ranked #7 among Vietnam¡¯s Top 200 Healthcare Influencers on LinkedIn.
While other executives on the list are making headlines in finance, consulting, and technology, Dr. Bao is drawing attention to Vietnam¡¯s emerging role in medical tourism, digital health, and integrated patient-centered care. His voice is increasingly shaping thought leadership on topics like healthcare equity and hospital digital transformation across Southeast Asia.
His presence in this elite league of CEOs reflects more than personal achievement¡ªit marks the global recognition of Vietnam¡¯s maturing healthcare sector, and the growing importance of leaders who can translate local challenges into regional innovation.
As Asia¡¯s healthcare systems race to modernize post-pandemic, names like Dr. Tran Quoc Bao aren¡¯t just part of the conversation¡ªthey¡¯re setting the agenda.
