People's interests in healthcare services

It reflects that according to the
health sector, the price of medical services has not been fully examined.
Nurses, doctors and hospitals must find ways to compensate for the shortfall.
And even representatives of the Ministry of Health acknowledged that the
current situation has not been calculated correctly and fully but patients
still have to “pay some expenses”. Mr. Nguyen Nam Lien, Director of the
Department of Planning and Finance (Ministry of Health) did not specify what
the expenses are. However, for the patient whether in any form of public
property, they still have to pay for medical care. People are only interested
in good medical services within suitable limit of costs.
Therefore, the fact that Ministry of
Health take steps to accurately calculate all costs in the price of medical
services brings many positive elements. By that time, the hospitals and the medical
profession in general can not excuse that services are limited due to not being
paid enough money. In terms of relations between service providers and
beneficiaries of services, health services are marketable. When consumers pay
enough money, they should be entitled to adequate services to their money.
Service providers can not blame inadequate services for any reason.
However, it is feared that the rising
prices of services will certainly affect a number of subjects. It is also
unclear that what the Ministry of Health base on to release number of 30% among
people affected by the new policy (who have no health insurance), approximately
27 million people have an average income upward and many people can afford the
cost of health care. Time from now until 2020 is a relatively long period but
major policies affecting many people need to be considered exhaustively. High
cost of health care must be accompanied by improving the quality of health
care, creating competitive mechanism between medical facilities, expanding and
diversifying various types of health insurance.
