Review of foreign healthcare systems and ongoing reforms in China and Vietnam

The article is devoted to the review of some aspects of health care reform abroad, the emphasis is placed on the study of measures to achieve universal health coverage (HEU) in China and Vietnam. There is a significant similarity of problematic issues in the health care of most countries, which include ensuring equal access to quality medical care, shortage of medical personnel, financing of medical care. A review of the studied reforms showed that those that are addressed to a specific health problem achieve greater success, especially in the field of public health reform. The experience of reforms in China and Vietnam in the field of increasing the availability of medical care demonstrates the importance of improving the financing of the medical industry in the implementation of most reforms. Both countries have implemented reforms in the field of health insurance, but in China basic health insurance was introduced, while in Vietnam more attention was paid to vulnerable groups of the population. Despite the fact that the two countries have made progress in health coverage, inequality in access to medical care has been significantly reduced in Vietnam. It is concluded that the effectiveness of reforms will be more successful if such measures as the use of strategic procurement, improvement of primary health care, improvement of the quality of services, provision of political support and increased financing of health care are implemented.
