Social Insurance in Vietnam: A Guide to Social Security and Health Insurance
Life’s uncertainties are inevitable, but we can find security through Vietnam’s social insurance programs: Social Security (BHXH) and Health Insurance (BHYT). What are these programs, and why are they so crucial? Let’s explore.
Understanding Social Security (BHXH) and Health Insurance (BHYT) in Vietnam
BHXH and BHYT are vital social safety nets, acting as insurance for workers against life’s unexpected challenges.
BHXH – Social Security
This government-managed program ensures income for workers during retirement, occupational accidents, occupational diseases, or critical illnesses.
Benefits of BHXH:
- Retirement Pension: Receive a monthly pension upon reaching retirement age or fulfilling retirement requirements.
- Support for Illness, Occupational Accidents: Receive support for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and benefits for occupational accidents and diseases.
- Unemployment Support: Receive unemployment benefits and job search assistance.
- Death Benefits: Family receives funeral expense assistance and death benefits in case of the worker’s demise.
BHYT – Health Insurance
This insurance protects participants’ health, alleviating the financial burden of illness and disease.
Benefits of BHYT:
- Free or Partially Covered Medical Care: Access healthcare services at medical facilities nationwide according to regulations.
- Reduced Financial Burden: Save on medical expenses, especially for critical illnesses.
- Access to Quality Healthcare Services: Access better healthcare services, improving quality of life.

BHXH and BHYT: Your Safety Net for Peace of Mind
Many, especially young people, hesitate to participate in BHXH and BHYT, believing they are young and healthy. However, prevention is better than cure. Participating in these programs provides proactive protection for yourself and your family against unforeseen risks.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa (Cau Giay, Hanoi) shares: “Since participating in BHXH and BHYT, I feel much more secure. Last year, I was unfortunately involved in a traffic accident and had to be hospitalized for a long time. Thanks to BHYT covering most of the costs, my family’s financial burden was significantly reduced.”
BHXH and BHYT are not just social security policies; they are a safety net for every individual and family. Be a wise consumer and equip yourself and your loved ones with this essential protection for peace of mind.
