When taking their child to the hospital for treatment, the student's parents discovered that the school had not purchased a health insurance card for the student even though they had collected enough money at the beginning of the school year.
On September 27, Mr. Nguyen Huu Luat, Head of the Department of Education and Training of Buon Ma Thuot City, Dak Lak Province, said that he had directed the handling of the case of Mac Thi Buoi Primary School (Ea Tu Commune, Buon Ma Thuot City) delaying the purchase of health insurance cards for students, affecting the medical examination and treatment process of the students.
“I have directed the school to promptly resolve the issue to ensure the rights of students in medical examination and treatment. At the same time, the unit will closely monitor the school’s resolution,” said Mr. Luat.
Previously, many parents with children studying at Mac Thi Buoi Primary School were upset that the school did not buy health insurance cards, causing students to lose their rights when going to see a doctor or get medical treatment.
According to Ms. H. (a parent of a student studying at Mac Thi Buoi Primary School), at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, she paid 632,000 VND to the school's office to buy a 1-year health insurance card for her child. In July, Ms. H.'s child fell ill and had to be hospitalized for treatment, but the doctors informed her that the health insurance card had expired 7 months ago.
“I had to pay the entire hospital fee of more than 3 million VND for my child to be treated. After that, I went to the school to ask about the matter and was informed that the school office did not renew the health insurance cards for many students, including my child,” Ms. H. was upset.
Mr. Pham Dinh Lai, Principal of Mac Thi Buoi Primary School, confirmed that there was a case where the school's office was late in paying the health insurance card renewal fee for students. After parents reported it, the school directed the office to immediately filter out cases of students who were missing out on health insurance cards and refund the money for the months when health insurance was not paid.
"For students who paid for health insurance but were not able to buy it and incurred medical examination and treatment costs, the clerk is responsible for compensating all of these costs," Mr. Lai added.
It is known that 87 students of Mac Thi Buoi Primary School paid for health insurance cards for the school since the previous school year but the school did not buy them. Most of them are Ede ethnic minority students.
