This Question-and-Answer (Q&A) document covers commonly asked questions and answers on TB exams, treatment, and reimbursement through Social Health Insurance (SHI). It provides guidance to TB treatment facilities as they integrate SHI and transition TB treatment services into SHI. The document also includes hyperlinks as additional reference sources for readers.
Thanks to a multiyear strategy supported by LHSS and predecessor USAID projects, Vietnam now funds approximately 52 percent of its HIV/AIDS program through domestic financial resources.
Through intensive engagement with residents, health workers and other community leaders countered misinformation and eased people's concerns. The result: thousands more COVID-19 vaccinations.
2022 marked Vietnam's 10-year journey to sustain its HIV response with domestic financing (2013 – 2022). The country now stands out as a global example for sustainability and domestic resource mobilization for its HIV program.

Vietnam is one of the 30 countries with the highest burden of TB and drug-resistant TB in the world, with more than 172,000 cases and 10,400 deaths from TB in Vietnam in 2020 (WHO). On July 1, TB treatment facilities nationwide started providing TB drugs to patients through social health insurance, marking an important milestone for financial sustainability.
This report presents findings from LHSS Vietnam's international review of diagnosis-related group contracts and provides a series of evaluations and recommendations.
This rapid assessment aimed to determine which health facilities in seven high-TB burden provinces of Vietnam meet social health insurance (SHI) requirements for TB service provision and for reimbursement of TB services through the SHI scheme.
This report provides a review of international experience to draw out practical and scientific approaches for both the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Vietnam Social Security (VSS) to consider. Conclusions and recommendations are provided.
