Participating in health insurance is one of the fundamental rights of citizens, which has been stipulated in the Law on Health Insurance 2008 and its guiding documents. However, after 15 years of implementation, the Law on Health Insurance 2008 has revealed certain limitations and shortcomings. As a result, on November 27, 2024, the National Assembly issued Law No. 51/2024/QH15 to amend and supplement several provisions of the Law on Health Insurance 2008 (Law on Health Insurance 2024).

In order to perfect the regulations on health insurance in accordance with the Party’s policies and orientations, in line with the practice and the compatibility with the health insurance laws of other countries, the Ministry of Health is drafting a Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Health Insurance.
