The new fees will officially be applied on April 15, replacing the current rates listed in Circular No. 14/TTLB issued in 1995 and Circular No. 03/2006/TTLT from 2006.
Accordingly, fees for the 447 specified services will increase 30-40% above their current rates. For example, health checkups at central hospitals will increase from VND3,000 to a maximum of VND20,000, while the cost of dialysis will rise from VND150,000-300,000 to VND430,000-460,000.
The new prices, which are being raised because of inflation, are expected to improve medical facilities and services./.
