Abstract
Universal health insurance is currently a risk-sharing solution that aims to provide healthcare coverage for all citizens of Vietnam. However, in the current context, health care costs are increasing, especially the cost of treating diseases. Universal health insurance is increasingly becoming an important support tool that helps to share the financial risks of people and protect their health. Therefore, the article studies the importance of universal health insurance in the social health care system in Vietnam, its direct impacts on patients, and the current situation, challenges, and some recommendations to improve the development of social health insurance towards the goal of universal health coverage in Vietnam.
