A Vietnamese emigrant from Germany returned to Vietnam for dermatological treatment due to 3–6 month waiting times in Germany, according to Dr. Le Huu Doanh, director of the Central Dermatology Hospital.

On November 10, representatives of the Vietnamese embassy and the Association of Vietnamese Associations in Germany visited the family of the Vietnamese victim murdered in Berlin, expressed their condolences, and offered support.

Vietnam is emerging as a destination for international patients due to improved expertise, reasonable costs, and service accessibility. The demand for dermatological care among foreigners and overseas Vietnamese is diverse, ranging from disease treatment to cosmetic procedures. Some Vietnamese in Europe, including Germany, return to Vietnam for treatment to avoid long waiting times of three to six months abroad.

Rick Springfield recounted traveling to South Vietnam in 1968 as a 19-year-old to perform for soldiers. During an attack on a Marine base near Da Nang, he loaded and fired mortar rounds, and was later told one killed a Vietcong fighter. He said the experience still haunts him.

The Berlin public prosecutor's office announced that the suspect in the case of the discovery of the body of Vietnamese girl Lisa Ta had previously been sentenced to a one-year suspended prison sentence by the Passau court.
