Viet Nam is moving to expand smoke-free spaces as a crucial solution to protect public health as well as to pave the way for sustainable tourism development as the country records more than 104,000 tobacco-related deaths each year.

Viet Nam has set the goal of achieving over 95% health insurance coverage by 2026 and universal coverage by 2030, with citizens to be exempted from basic hospital fees within the scope of health insurance benefits according to a roadmap.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long has highlighted Viet Nam’s commitment to providing free hospital services and regular health check-ups, describing it as a strong demonstration of the Party and Government’s determination to improve citizens’ quality of life.
