Tests Available at Home
In Da Nang (you'll also see it written Danang), our mobile medical team conducts routine blood work, comprehensive lab test panels, and convenient at-home test sampling with prompt digital results. We offer most standard blood tests that a hospital lab would run. Common panels include: CDC travel health guidance for Vietnam notes that blood tests are often needed to investigate fever in travellers, particularly during peak dengue season.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): White blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets. Screens for infection, anemia, and general health.

- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Everything in the basic panel plus liver enzymes (ALT, AST) and protein levels.
- Liver Function Tests: ALT, AST, bilirubin, albumin. Important if you're on medication or drink alcohol regularly.
- Thyroid Panel: TSH, T3, T4. For patients managing thyroid conditions.

If you need a specific test not listed here, ask when booking. We'll confirm whether it's available.
How It Works
- Book your visit through the website or email. Tell us which tests you need (or describe your concerns and the doctor will recommend the right panel).
- Prepare: We'll tell you if fasting is required. For most panels, that means no food for 8 to 12 hours before the draw. Water is fine.
- The nurse arrives at your home or hotel. The blood draw takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Samples go to a certified lab in Da Nang for processing.
- Results delivered within 24 to 48 hours by email, in English. A doctor can review the results with you by phone or in a follow-up visit.
Who Uses This Service
Home blood tests are popular with:
- Expats who want regular health monitoring without going to a hospital.
- Long-stay tourists who need ongoing medication monitoring (blood thinners, thyroid meds, diabetes).
- Patients recovering from illness who need follow-up lab testing or monitoring after an IV drip in Da Nang.
- Elderly residents who have difficulty traveling to a clinic.
Why Test at Home Instead of a Hospital
Hospital labs in Da Nang are affordable but involve waiting in crowded lobbies, paperwork in Vietnamese, and navigating departments. If you don't speak Vietnamese, the process is frustrating even for a simple blood draw.
A home visit takes 10 minutes. You stay comfortable. Results arrive in English by email. No traffic, no waiting rooms, no miscommunication.
