00:00:03.929 --> 00:00:07.029 
This 41-year-old female patient has
breast cancer and had surgery 

00:00:07.029 --> 00:00:08.269 
to remove one breast. 

00:00:08.709 --> 00:00:11.029 
Currently, he has to continue chemotherapy for a long time. 

00:00:11.869 --> 00:00:14.761 
According to the patient, thanks to
participating in health insurance for 5 

00:00:14.761 --> 00:00:16.689 
consecutive years, treatment costs have been somewhat reduced. 

00:00:17.009 --> 00:00:18.729 
helping the family reduce the financial burden. 

00:00:18.897 --> 00:00:25.197 
In general, when cancer is detected, the
first problem is economic. 

00:00:25.197 --> 00:00:29.117 
because when you think about cancer,
treatment will be very expensive, very expensive 

00:00:29.117 --> 00:00:33.377 
because during treatment I can't work to
earn extra income 

00:00:33.377 --> 00:00:37.317 
so it's also a difficult
thought about economics 

00:00:37.317 --> 00:00:39.377 
but luckily there is health insurance 

00:00:39.377 --> 00:00:45.317 
I've been involved for 5 consecutive
years, so I've paid 80% of the cost 

00:00:45.317 --> 00:00:50.337 
and few exceptions, the exceptions have
no exceptions 

00:00:50.337 --> 00:00:54.497 
so during the treatment period, payment
is almost always made 

00:00:54.497 --> 00:00:57.257 
the expenses I support are very much 

00:00:57.558 --> 00:01:00.375 
According to doctors, reality shows that
the number of patients coming for 

00:01:00.375 --> 00:01:02.958 
treatment with health insurance
participation accounts for a fairly large proportion. 

00:01:03.038 --> 00:01:06.385 
However, there are still cases where
they have never participated in health 

00:01:06.385 --> 00:01:08.058 
insurance, making treatment costs very high. 

00:01:08.398 --> 00:01:11.718 
Especially for life-threatening
diseases, the treatment time is prolonged such as cancer. 

00:01:12.037 --> 00:01:18.379 
It is quite fortunate that up to now,
the rate of patients coming to us 

00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:20.917 
without health insurance is quite small. 

00:01:21.677 --> 00:01:24.754 
However, there are also cases where it
is like that, even some 

00:01:24.754 --> 00:01:26.037 
people have never bought insurance. 

00:01:26.037 --> 00:01:31.087 
If patients participate in health
insurance, that is a very big support in 

00:01:31.087 --> 00:01:36.137 
providing financial support to be able
to treat the entire disease treatment process. 

00:01:36.137 --> 00:01:41.243 
Because until now, most of the main
treatment methods in cancer treatment 

00:01:41.243 --> 00:01:46.349 
have been covered by insurance, and
patients who have health insurance will 

00:01:46.349 --> 00:01:48.477 
save a lot of costs. 

00:01:48.477 --> 00:01:54.458 
But if in the case that the patient does
not have health insurance, the cost 

00:01:54.458 --> 00:01:59.243 
throughout the treatment process will be
relatively large and it will directly 

00:01:59.243 --> 00:02:01.237 
affect the patient's family's economy. 

00:02:01.345 --> 00:02:05.131 
According to statistics from the
Ministry of Health, the health insurance 

00:02:05.131 --> 00:02:09.605 
coverage rate in 2024 reached 94.29% of
the population and is expected to 

00:02:09.605 --> 00:02:11.325 
increase to 95.16% in 2025. 

00:02:12.065 --> 00:02:15.368 
Currently, the Ministry of Health is
proposing to expand the scope of 

00:02:15.368 --> 00:02:17.569 
benefits for health insurance
participants, while gradually improving 

00:02:17.569 --> 00:02:18.945 
the quality of health services. 

00:02:19.205 --> 00:02:23.765 
That fruit helps people access more
effective modern medical services and techniques.
