Columbia Asia Gia Dinh International Hospital

In an official announcement on its website, Columbia Asia Gia Dinh International Hospital and Columbia Asia Saigon International Clinic stated that they will undergo a procedure to suspend their operations starting from January 31, 2024.

The reason given is that the operating period of the facilities owned by Columbia Asia Vietnam Company Limited is about to expire according to the investment certificate. According to the investment certificate, the company has a legal obligation to transfer, without full reimbursement, all fixed assets to the Government of Vietnam when the operating period ends. This is also the reason why the company is not granted an extension of its operating license.

With the preparation for the suspension of operations, starting from February 1st, all related matters, customers are requested to contact via email for guidance, support, and resolution.

Established in 1998, Columbia Asia Gia Dinh International Hospital has been operating for 25 years, located on No Trang Long Street, Binh Thanh District. This is also the first private hospital in Vietnam to be invested directly with 100% foreign capital, with 20 beds set up to serve the daily needs of patients.

As for Columbia Asia Saigon International Clinic, it is located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, at 8 Alexandre de Rhodes Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1.
