Resource Description: 

This is the executive summary of a report that documents Actuarial Analysis related to the development of a Basic Health Service Package (BHSP) for Social Health Insurance (SHI) in Vietnam. It attempts to answer the following key questions:

• What is the disease burden based on cost for SHI in Vietnam? What are the top five most costly ICD-10 categories?
• What are the key services to treat these diseases, and does treatment vary significantly by level of health facility?

We then consider how these findings might possibly impact the development of a BHSP for SHI in Vietnam.
