Today, March 26, the Ministry of Health has issued the latest instructions to provinces, cities, health departments, and medical examination and treatment units on health examination work.
Previously, the Ministry of Health abolished the administrative procedures of "issuing health certificates for drivers" and "periodic health examinations for car drivers". With this abolition, many people believe that individuals do not need to have a health examination when taking the driving test or changing their driving license.
The Ministry of Health confirmed that currently, cases of changing driver's licenses still need to be issued a health certificate.
According to the latest guidance, the Ministry of Health has recently abolished 12 administrative procedures related to health examinations, including: issuing health certificates for crew members; issuing health certificates for drivers; periodic health examinations for car drivers; issuing health certificates for people aged 18 and under; issuing health certificates for people who have lost civil capacity or have no civil capacity or have limited civil capacity; periodic health examinations.
According to the latest regulations in the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment, the above regulations do not belong to administrative procedures, but are professional processes and techniques.
The Ministry of Health explains that "health check-up" and "periodic health check-up for car drivers" are medical examinations to determine health status, classify health or detect and manage diseases. Therefore, the two administrative procedures "health check-up for drivers" and "periodic health check-up for car drivers" have now been replaced by specialized technical procedures.
Therefore, people changing their driver's license still have to undergo a medical examination and need a medical certificate.
The Ministry of Health requests the heads of the Departments of Health of 63 provinces and cities; hospitals to disseminate, thoroughly understand, guide and inspect organizations and individuals under their management authority to strictly implement the provisions of the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2023; Decree No. 96/2023/ND-CP; Circular No. 32/2023/TT-BYT; Joint Circular No. 24/2015/TTLT-BYT-BGTVT dated August 21, 2015; Circular No. 22/2017/TT-BYT dated May 12, 2017... and related regulations in implementing health examination and issuance of health certificates.
