Singaporean tourist discharged from hospital on same day after falling ill in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay

The woman experienced dizziness and difficulty breathing while visiting the island.

She received timely first aid from personnel on duty at Ti Top Island before being taken to the hospital.

A representative of Quang Ninh General Hospital told Tuoi Tre News that the woman requested to be discharged shortly after being admitted so she could rejoin her tour group and continue their itinerary that afternoon.

Her vital signs had returned to normal after a short period at the hospital, the representative said.

The prompt response and coordination among the forces involved helped ensure the tourist received timely medical assistance, reinforcing Ha Long Bay’s image as a safe, friendly and responsible destination.

The incident also highlights the importance of on-site medical support for visitors to Ha Long Bay, where tourists travel by boat and visit islands and other attractions that can be far from mainland medical facilities.

Personnel stationed on Ti Top Island are among the forces involved in providing assistance to visitors in emergencies. Their readiness to respond and coordinate with medical facilities helps improve safety for both domestic and international tourists.

Reliable emergency medical support is an important part of ensuring visitor safety and strengthening confidence in Vietnam as a tourist destination.
