I am having surgery done on my shoulder and will need to clean and dress the wound on the rear of the clavicle daily for at least a week near district 1. Does anyone have an idea where I can go to have a surgical wound cleaned and dressed daily at a reasonable cost?

Where are you having the surgery? If locally, can they suggest somewhere to you?

As with most hospitals worldwide, the larger hospitals in Vietnam are almost always directly connected to the outpatient clinics for all services, as well as some home health services.

If you are not otherwise mobility restricted, you should be able to take a grab car or taxi to the outpatient clinic for dressing changes. That's almost certainly going to be the most affordable option.

If it's absolutely necessary, your physician or the nursing staff can refer you to home health care but that will be the more expensive option.
