Readiness for Integration of TB Treatment Facilities into Social Health Insurance in Vietnam

The purpose of this rapid assessment was 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. Based on the level of readiness, we recommended actions and back-up options for each health facility to help them meet SHI eligibility criteria so that they can provide TB services and be fully integrated into SHI by March 2022.
