Abstract:
Vietnam still experiences difficulties to achieve UHC because people's OOPs remain very high. One of the most recent reforms of the government is the enactment of revised Health insurance (HI) Law in 2014. So far, its impact has not been evaluated. I aimed to assess the effect of HI on health service utilization and its ability to protect households from catastrophic health expenditure (CHE)
