Ho Chi Minh City has initiated a pilot program providing at-home medical examinations and treatment covered by national health insurance. The program specifically targets elderly individuals, patients with chronic illnesses, and those with mobility limitations. This initiative aims to improve healthcare access for vulnerable populations who face challenges traveling to medical facilities. Costs associated with these in-home services will be borne by the national health insurance system during the trial period. The pilot program seeks to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of expanding healthcare delivery beyond traditional hospital and clinic settings. Authorities hope this will reduce burdens on hospitals and enhance patient convenience and comfort. Further details regarding program scope and duration were not immediately available.
