MỞ RỘNG CHI TRẢ BẢO HIỂM Y TẾ - THÊM CƠ HỘI CHO NGƯỜI BỆNH UNG THƯ

For cancer patients, the treatment journey is often lengthy, requiring perseverance and significant financial resources. Besides the worry of the disease itself, many families also face financial pressure as treatment costs, especially for newer generation drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapy, remain very high. Therefore, the Ministry of Health's proposal to expand the list of cancer treatment drugs covered by the Health Insurance Fund is receiving great attention and expectation from patients and medical professionals alike. According to the Ministry of Health's draft, approximately 30 types of cancer treatment drugs will be proposed for inclusion in the list covered by the Health Insurance Fund. These are mainly targeted therapies, immunotherapy drugs, and many new, high-cost drugs. If approved, this policy will open up opportunities for patients to access advanced treatment methods at more reasonable costs, thereby improving treatment effectiveness and quality of life. According to MSc. Dr. Truong Xuan Tien - Head of the Oncology Department, Hop Luc General Hospital, the Health Insurance Fund currently covers many technical services and cancer treatment drugs according to current protocols, significantly reducing the cost of medical examination and treatment for patients. However, many new treatment drugs, especially targeted therapies and immunotherapy drugs, are not yet covered by health insurance or are only subsidized at about 30-50% of the cost. Therefore, if the list of drugs is expanded in the future, patients will have the opportunity to access modern therapies sooner, while reducing the economic burden throughout the treatment process. The Health Insurance Fund currently covers many technical services and cancer treatment drugs according to new protocols, significantly reducing treatment costs for patients. However, many targeted therapies and immunotherapy drugs are still not covered by insurance or the reimbursement rate is still low. Expanding the list of available medications would be a very significant policy, giving patients more opportunities to access advanced treatments and reducing their financial burden. For cancer patients, health insurance is not only a financial safety net but also a great source of encouragement, helping them feel secure in pursuing long-term treatment. Expanding coverage will contribute to improving access to modern treatments and enhancing the quality of life for patients. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🏥🏥🏥Hop Luc General Hospital🏥🏥🏥 📍Address: 595 Nguyen Chi Thanh Street, Dong Tho Ward, Thanh Hoa City 📞Phone number: 02373.713.713 ☎️Customer Service Hotline: 1900.9012 https://th.hopluchospital.com/ 🌎Website: hopluchospital.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #HOP_LUC_HOSPITAL #HOP_LUC_HEALTHCARE_SYSTEM #news #healthinsurance #cancer
