Need 30,000 billion/year for universal health check-up

The Ministry of Health said it will invest synchronously in human resources, facilities and equipment for commune health stations to ensure primary health care for the people. It is expected that the project is being built to submit to the Government a list of necessary examinations and tests with the optimal cost for health examinations for each person being about 300,000 VND/person/year. And the balance will be calculated based on the payment source from the health insurance fund.

This source will be calculated and considered by the health insurance fund and the budget. In the immediate future, with nearly 59,000 billion in surplus from the health insurance fund, it is expected to be enough to cover expenses for 2 years.

The health sector believes that in the spirit of Resolution 72 of the Politburo , with the focus shifting from "treatment" to "prevention", grassroots health care is considered the foundation of this issue. Therefore, in the period of 2025-2030, each year localities will rotate at least 1,000 doctors to commune health stations, supplementing regular doctors so that by 2027 each station will have 4-5 doctors and by 2030, it will meet the assigned functions and tasks.
