Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 7: With its high-quality education, location, and affordable fee structure, Vietnam is emerging as a popular destination for Indian students pursuing medical education. These and other advantages that Vietnam offers to Indian students were discussed at the Vietnam Medical Educational Conclave 2023, organised in Ahmedabad on Saturday, March 4.
The Vietnam Medical Educational Conclave 2023 was organised by Aieraa Overseas Studies, the first Indian organisation to tie up with a Vietnam-based Government Medical Educational Institution.
The Conclave began with the traditional lighting of the lamps, followed by the playing of the national anthems of India and Vietnam, and the welcoming of Chief Guest and Vietnam’s Ambassador to India, Nguyen Thanh Hai, and Guest of Honour and Honorary Consul of Vietnam to Gujarat, Saurin Shah.
Delivering the presidential address, Deepa Ranganathan, Director of Aieraa Overseas Studies, said, “Thousands of students from India are seeking opportunities to study in foreign universities, and many are preferring to study MBBS and other medical courses. Considering Vietnam’s excellent medical education infrastructure, geographical proximity to India, similarities in culture and weather, and affordable fee structure, Vietnam is an ideal destination for Indian medical students. We are committed to helping Indian students access top-class medical education in Vietnam.”
We are the pioneer of medical admissions in Vietnam. We are the only organisation in India approved and recommended by the Embassy of Vietnam for recruiting students for medical admissions in Vietnam.
In his address, Nguyen Thanh Hai, Vietnam’s Ambassador to India, said, “India and Vietnam share many similarities and close cultural and religious ties. Relations between the two countries are stronger than ever. Bilateral trade between India and Vietnam is growing. There is also a strong people-to-people connection. Vietnam is a very safe country, and English is widely spoken. There is also a growing Indian community in Vietnam. Indian students will feel at home in Vietnam.”
In his address, Saurin Shah, Guest of Honour and Honorary Consul of Vietnam to Gujarat, also spoke about the close relations between India and Vietnam and the advantages the South East Asian country offers over other nations in terms of medical education to Indian students.

There are so many reasons that Vietnam is the best destination for Indian students studying medicine. We are working closely with medical universities in Vietnam to facilitate admissions of Indian students.”
