Nationwide Social Health Insurance Solutions in Vietnam

In this article, we study the role of Social Health Insurance and the efforts of the Vietnamese government in expanding coverage to achieve the universal health insurance goal. By analyzing changes in health insurance policies related to contribution responsibilities and benefits since the enactment of the 2008 Health Insurance Law, and utilizing data sources from Vietnam Social Security, the Ministry of Health, and the General Statistics Office of Vietnam to investigate the current state of expanding health coverage in Vietnam, examine the achieved results, limitations and reasons. Subsequently, we propose solutions to broaden the scope of health insurance coverage to the entire population.
