'''NOTE:''' For serious health issues, it's recommended to seek help outside of Laos (if you can afford it). Typically, people go to [[Thailand]] for critical medical issues. The Friendship Bridge links Vientiane (Laos) to Nong Khai (Thailand), and it's open 10 am-6 pm daily. If you have a medical emergency, you can often cross the bridge after hours as well. Some hospitals that foreigners seek out in Thailand are AEK International Hospital (tel: 66-42-342-555), North Eastern Wattana General Hospital (tel: 66-1-833-4262), and Bangkok Hospital (tel: 66-42-343-111) in Udon Thani. They all have English-speaking staff. Furthermore, ambulances from AEK International Hospital and Nong Khai Wattana Hospital have permission to cross the Friendship Bridge. The Vientiane-based Setthatirat Hospital ambulance (tel: 021-413-720) can also cross the bridge into Thailand.<ref>[https://la.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/doctors/ US Embassy in Laos - Medical Assistance]</ref> | |||
