HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Health plans to look into health check-ups and treatments offered at public hospitals this year so as to ensure equal fees are charged at all facilities. Next week, the health and finance ministries will meet to discuss a draft circular on the framework of health check-up and treatment costs at public hospitals. As per the draft circular, the proposed cost of a health check-up service will not exceed VNĐ200,000 (US$9) each time, and specific conditions will be set for required health check-ups. Currently, the fee for health check-ups at central hospitals nationwide range from VNĐ150,000 ($7) to VNĐ690,000 ($31) per time. The draft circular also sets the highest fee per day for a room with one bed at VNĐ2.4 million ($107).
