Written for Vietnamese medical records records
What a Vietnamese patient actually holds
The hospital keeps the hồ sơ bệnh án. The patient leaves with a few forms, and those are what reach a US clinic.
Giấy ra viện and the tóm tắt hồ sơ bệnh án
The giấy ra viện is the one-page discharge paper on the Ministry of Health form: ngày vào viện and ngày ra viện, chẩn đoán, phương pháp điều trị and ghi chú, signed by the trưởng khoa and the giám đốc bệnh viện under the hospital seal. For anything longer the patient asks the hospital for a tóm tắt hồ sơ bệnh án, a summary of the file, since the bệnh án itself stays in the archive. We translate the form field by field and keep the ICD-10 code printed beside the diagnosis, which a US doctor can read without the Vietnamese.
Chart shorthand: THA, ĐTĐ, TD and the rest
Vietnamese notes abbreviate everything. THA is tăng huyết áp, hypertension; ĐTĐ is đái tháo đường, diabetes; TBMMN is a stroke and NMCT a heart attack. A diagnosis prefixed TD, theo dõi, means suspected and under observation, not confirmed, and the translation says so. Vital signs appear as M for mạch, HA for huyết áp and T for nhiệt độ, and CLS covers the lab and imaging work ordered. Each is written out in English so the reader is not left guessing at letters.
Đơn thuốc, sổ khám bệnh and the thẻ BHYT
A Vietnamese đơn thuốc lists the drug with its hàm lượng and the dose by time of day, sáng, trưa, chiều, tối, with uống for by mouth and viên for tablet. Vietnamese spellings such as amoxicilin or cefalexin are matched to the US generic. The sổ khám bệnh is the patient's own booklet, where each visit is written by hand, and we translate the pages you mark. Hospital forms also carry the số thẻ BHYT, the national health insurance number, and the field dân tộc, which we translate as ethnic group and never drop.
Who is asking for your Vietnamese medical records translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
Doctors and hospitals
A new physician needs your diagnoses, medications and reports in English before the first visit. Each report is translated in full and certified, so it can go into your chart as it is.
Insurers
Health, travel and disability insurers ask for the medical report and the itemized bill in English, translated completely and certified, before they pay a claim for care received abroad.
ECFMG
ECFMG accepts a word-for-word translation on a translation service's letterhead, signed by the translator with a certification statement. Summaries and extracts are refused. Our certified translations follow that format.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Vietnamese medical records.
Send the pages a doctor would read
The discharge letter, the current medication list and the reports it relies on cover most visits. A full hospital file can run to hundreds of pages, so start with those and add the rest if the recipient asks.
Letterhead, stamps and signatures count
The hospital header, the doctor's stamp and the registration number on a prescription identify who wrote the record. Scan each page whole, including forms and the back of any page with a stamp.
Tell us who will read it
A physician needs the clinical pages, an insurer the diagnosis and the itemized bill, ECFMG a word-for-word translation of the entire document. Say which in the order notes, with the patient's name as the passport spells it.

Vietnamese Medical Records FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- Can you translate a giấy khám sức khỏe for a job, a work permit or a visa?
- Yes. The giấy khám sức khỏe is the health check certificate on the Ministry of Health form, with vital signs, eyesight, blood and urine results and the line Đủ sức khỏe or Không đủ sức khỏe at the end. US employers and schools rarely ask for it, but it appears in adoption, au pair and student files, and in reverse: a foreigner applying for a Vietnamese giấy phép lao động needs a health certificate, and a US one must be translated into Vietnamese. One page is $25.
- I was injured in Vietnam and my US insurer wants the records. What do I send?
- Send the giấy ra viện, the hóa đơn or biên lai viện phí for what you paid, the bảng kê chi phí khám chữa bệnh that itemizes the stay, and any phiếu xét nghiệm or phiếu siêu âm from the visit. Private hospitals such as FV or Vinmec often write the file in English and Vietnamese together, and then only the Vietnamese pages are translated and billed.
- Do you translate US medical records into Vietnamese?
- Yes. Families send a US discharge summary or pathology report to a doctor in Vietnam for a second opinion or so treatment can continue there, and a US clinic sometimes needs a treatment plan in Vietnamese for a relative who reads no English. Say at checkout who will read it, so the translator uses hospital terms for a doctor and plain Vietnamese for a family.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
