What is the average salary in Vietnam?

How much does a doctor make in vietnam? what is the average salary for them if they work in a hospital?

• i want to know because i am comparing economy incomes.

• Answer:

  Huananduong, good answer. The ''under the table'' money is the biggest part of the Vietnamese economy and everyone allows for it. That's if they want to stay in business of course. I have not seen anyone from my extended Vietnamese family walk away from a doctors office without a sackfull of tablets for even the most mildest ailment. But we are being unfair to the medical profession. Because its not just the medical profession that's corrupt, its the entire country. When you get down to village level and see who owns what and then compare assets to income you don't have to be Einstein to work out what going on and its not like they try and hide it. Its going on from one end of the country to the other and there's not a thing the government can do about it. You know the old saying "The King's rule stops at the village gate." Anyway back to the question. I knew a Viet Doctor who worked for a well known foreign clinic 5 year ago. Her salary was $1600 U.S. a month. I also knew her foreign paymaster.
