This is an important development in the relationship between the two countries that students from India will be visiting Vietnam to study at HongBang International University. Every year hundreds of Indian students visit countries like China, Russia and Ukraine to learn medicine. But, having been residing in Ho Chi Minh city for the last ten months, I have to say this is truly a safe and secure international study destination for students from various countries. The country is located close to India, at just a 4-hour flight trip and hosts a sizeable Indian diaspora. In what I have seen over the last few months, the country’s health infrastructure has been excellent with trained doctors and other health personnel. We believe this collaboration will further the millennia-old relationship between the two countries.
