| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The introduction of health insurance has been one of the most important policy agenda in a growing number of newly emerging economies. This research project, in Vietnam where the government has exerted enormous efforts towards universal health insurance coverage, aims to implement empirical studies to draw valuable lessons for Vietnam and also other counties in the process of achieving universal health insurance coverage. During this research project, we analyzed statistical data obtained from several governmental organizations such as the General Statistics Office and the Ministry of Health of Vietnam as well as data collected by conducting our original household and health facility surveys in central Vietnam. The findings from our empirical analyses were presented at both domestic and international symposiums, seminars and workshops (16 presentations). In addition 6 academic papers have been published.
