TL;DR
Calling an ambulance in Nha Trang requires speaking Vietnamese (exact cost isn't published), so most expats instead use dedicated medical Telegram groups to find a translator/helper who accompanies them to appointments.
In the dedicated 'Medicine in Vietnam' Telegram group, the pinned message has a helper's contact — message them and they'll reach out right away to explain next steps.
In the past, travelers found interpreters/companions for doctor visits via VK community groups, later switched to WhatsApp chats; now a dedicated medical Telegram group is the easiest option.
If you'd rather not pick a doctor yourself, the chat's helper will select a clinic and accompany you — just follow their recommendation.
Calling an ambulance in Nha Trang (dispatch line similar to '115') requires speaking Vietnamese with the operator; the exact call-out cost isn't publicly known in advance.
If you need a Russian-speaking doctor for a consultation, ask around in expat/medical chats — some Russian-trained doctors do practice in Vietnam.
