How do I call an ambulance in Mui Ne?
The ambulance number in Vietnam is 115 (GOV.UK, health). The line is answered in Vietnamese (GOV.UK, getting help), so it is easier if your hotel reception or host calls. If you can get there yourself, order a taxi and show the driver the Vietnamese address from the listing.
Where do I go in an emergency?
For a minor case, stay in Mui Ne: Vita or Dr Dong on the main tourist street Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, or the state Mui Ne district clinic near the fishing village. According to the newspaper Báo Lâm Đồng (2023) the clinic takes emergencies from illness, road accidents and water accidents and has an inpatient ward, and it passes complex cases to Phan Thiet hospitals about 20 km away (this is recorded in our listing). For serious cases you need to go to Phan Thiet. For the most complex cases the Way to Vietnam guide names Ho Chi Minh City, 3-4 hours away (Way to Vietnam); contact your insurer straight away for a trip like that.

Our listings for Mui Ne include no 24-hour pharmacy. At night, rely on Vita and Dr Dong, after phoning first.
What should I bring, and how does insurance work?
Your passport, insurance policy, your insurer's assistance phone number and a list of medicines. The UK Foreign Office advises insurance for local treatment and emergency evacuation, including an air ambulance, and asks you to contact your insurer promptly if you are referred to a medical facility (GOV.UK, health). Only your own insurer's assistance line can confirm direct billing without an advance from you: we have not checked which insurers these places accept. Keep the discharge summary and receipts.
What about medicines I bring with me?
Vietnam restricts strong and psychotropic medicines: according to GOV.UK you may not carry more than 7 days' worth, and you need the prescription plus a doctor's letter stating the amount (GOV.UK, health). If in doubt, ask the Vietnamese embassy before you travel.
