Train fare discounts offered to passengers to hospitals in Ninh Binh

Vietnam's railway sector is offering a 40 per cent train fare discount to patients travelling to two major hospitals in Ninh Binh Province to help reduce medical travel costs.

The discount applies to patients receiving examinations or treatment at the second campuses of Bach Mai and Viet Duc hospitals in Ninh Binh Province.

Only patients are eligible, with accompanying relatives or carers excluded. Passengers may receive only the highest applicable discount, which cannot be combined with other promotions.

The offer applies to trains stopping at Phu Ly Station, provided the passenger's departure or arrival station is Phu Ly.

To qualify, passengers must present proof of medical appointments or treatment at either hospital, such as an appointment slip, hospital referral, discharge certificate or other valid medical documentation.

Documents must include the patient's details, the medical facility's name, treatment dates and valid confirmation from the hospital, which may be verified through a QR code or other authentication methods.

The discount is valid for journeys made up to 10 days before a scheduled medical appointment and up to 10 days after treatment or hospitalisation ends, as confirmed by the medical facility.

Eligible passengers must buy tickets directly at railway stations and present the required documents for verification. Online bookings and purchases through ticket agents are not eligible.

The railway sector said the initiative aims to ease travel expenses for patients and improve access to medical care.
