Speaking at the workshop, Deputy Minister Pham Le Tuan emphasized: Vietnam is trying to pursue the goal of universal health care coverage in three aspects (the rate of the population participating in health insurance, the coverage of service supply and the decrease of the health expenses paid by households). This would be a big challenge for MOH in context of limited financial resources. The Ministry of Health needs the active paricipation of organizations, institutions and policy makers, international organizations, national and international experts so that the Circular could be efective in improving the quality and effectiveness of health operation at grassroots level.

       There are 7 articles in the Circular stipulating the basic health service package including: basic health service package covered by the health insurance fund including services and techniques for medical examination and treatment applied at the commune level; basic health service package for primary health care, prevention and health promotion. Basic health service packages are updated periodically from 01 to 02 years or unexpectedly upon request.

       All people have the right to access 76 basic health services and attached 241 categories of drugs to reduce the burden for higher level hospitals and costs for patients. Implement these basic health service packages would be the driving force for the health at grassroots level, especially health stations at communes, wards and towns to improve their professional capacity.
