Abstract
The project aims to increase domestic resources for health, manage those resources more effectively, and make wise purchasing decisions. As a result, the project will increase the use of both primary and priority health services, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and reproductive health services. The project is designed to fundamentally strengthen health systems, supporting countries as they navigate economic transitions needed to achieve universal healthcare. The project will work with partner countries to increase their domestic resources for health, manage those resources more effectively, and make wise purchasing decisions. This will involve increasing the use of both primary and priority health services, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and reproductive health services. The actuarial analysis related to the development of Vietnam's Social Health Insurance (SHI) benefit package was conducted by Mr. Eamon Kelly, Dr. Giang Thanh Long, and Pham Thi Hong Tham. The analysis was based on data and information supplied by Vietnam Social Security and the Ministry of Health. The authors thank Mr. Naz Todini and Mr. Lam Dam Duy, who led this process and coordinated all consultations in Vietnam. The authors also wish to thank the ISMS team in collecting data, especially Dr. Bui Dai Thu and Ms. To Lan Anh, for their great contribution. The scope of the actuarial analysis was to provide an actuarial analysis related to the development of Vietnam's SHI benefit package. The analysis aimed to provide an understanding of the disease burden and the costs associated with the SHI benefit package. The analysis used a methodology that involved the use of data from Vietnam Social Security and the Ministry of Health. The data was used to calculate the disease burden and the costs associated with the SHI benefit package. The analysis found that the top five ICD categories were circulatory system, neoplasms, respiratory system, digestive system, and genitourinary system. The analysis also found that the global burden of disease was high, with a significant proportion of the population affected by various diseases. The analysis further found that the costs associated with the SHI benefit package were high, with a significant proportion of the costs associated with outpatient services. The analysis also found that the use of health facilities varied by province, gender, and age. The analysis further found that the use of outpatient services was high, with a significant proportion of the population using outpatient services. The analysis also found that the use of inpatient services was lower, but still significant. The analysis further found that the costs associated with inpatient services were high, with a significant proportion of the costs associated with hospitalization. The analysis also found that the use of key medicines used was high, with a significant proportion of the population using key medicines. The analysis further found that the use of other services used was also high, with a significant proportion of the population using other services. The analysis also found that the risks and limitations associated with the SHI benefit package were significant, and that further analysis was needed to fully understand the implications of the SHI benefit package. The analysis used a variety of data sources, including data from Vietnam Social Security and the Ministry of Health. The data was used to calculate the disease burden and the costs associated with the SHI benefit package. The analysis also used a variety of methodologies, including the use of actuarial models to estimate the costs associated with the SHI benefit package. The analysis found that the SHI benefit package was an important tool for improving health outcomes in Vietnam. The analysis further found that the SHI benefit package had the potential to reduce the financial burden on individuals and families, and to improve access to healthcare services. However, the analysis also found that the SHI benefit package had significant risks and limitations, and that further analysis was needed to fully understand the implications of the SHI benefit package.
