Abstract
This book reviews Vietnam's
successes and the challenges it faces, and goes on to
suggest some options for further reforming the
country's health system. Options for expanding coverage
to 100 percent of the population are compared. The issue of
how to deepen coverage, so that insurance reduces
out-of-pocket spending by more than it does at present, is
also discussed, as is the issue of how to put downward
pressure on the cost of health care. The book also looks at
the issues of how to improve the quality of care, both
overall and at the hospital level, and how to reform
provider payment methods. It also looks at the issue of
stewardship, what different parts of government (the health
ministry, the health insurer, and so on) should be doing at
each level of government, and what different levels of
government (the central government, provincial government,
and so forth) ought to be doing.
