This policy gradually creates trust among the people, opens up opportunities for people to receive comprehensive and long-term health care, and reduces the burden of medical examination and treatment costs.
With increasingly improved policies, health insurance aims to share the burden of hospital fees for patients, helping them feel secure in their medical examination and treatment. It can be said that health insurance has demonstrated its superiority, becoming a "lifesaver" for many families whose relatives have to undergo long-term treatment and high costs. At the Artificial Kidney Department, Ham Tan District Medical Center, every day there are more than 10 patients with kidney failure undergoing dialysis, most of whom have health insurance cards. Thanks to that, they are supported to pay most of the treatment and medication costs.
Having been on dialysis for over 8 years, Ms. Bui Thi Nguyen, a resident of Suoi Kiet Commune, Tanh Linh District, understands the difficulties of fighting this disease. Putting aside her work, she regularly goes to Ham Tan District Medical Center every week for dialysis. The worry about treatment costs has now eased because her family enjoys health insurance benefits for the poor. Ms. Nguyen said that for over 8 years, she has been regularly going for dialysis, so the health insurance card has become a very important companion.
Along with Ms. Nguyen, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai Yen, a resident of Tan Phuc commune, Ham Tan district, who is on dialysis with Ms. Nguyen, said that she previously joined health insurance to share the difficulties of those who unfortunately have the disease and also to protect herself. When she herself got sick and had to undergo long-term treatment, she fully understood the meaning and value of the health insurance card. Dialysis takes place 3 times a week along with the cost of long-term medication were concerns when Ms. Yen found out she had the disease. However, now that her family has enjoyed the health insurance policy for the poor, she feels more secure when she undergoes treatment with health insurance and her costs have been covered by the health insurance fund for over 9 years.
The health insurance policy with many expanded benefits with a payment level of 80 - 100% of the cost of medical examination and treatment when going to the right hospital has created convenience for many patients. At Ham Tan District Medical Center, every day there are 400 - 500 patients coming for medical examination and treatment using health insurance cards; most of them are chronic diseases. Thanks to the health insurance policy, patients have the conditions to have monthly check-ups and receive adequate medicine to help improve their health and feel secure during treatment.
Doctor CKII. Huynh Van Tuong, Director of Ham Tan District Medical Center, said that participating in health insurance not only brings the right to health care for each person but also shares with the community, with those who are unfortunate enough to have illnesses that require long-term and expensive treatment. With a health insurance card, when people get sick and go to a medical facility, they will be examined by a doctor, have tests performed, diagnosed and prescribed timely treatment. Participate in health insurance to protect the health of yourself and your family, achieving the goal of universal health insurance.
