The
new circular has regulated that all children under 6 years of age provided free
health care cards will not have to pay any fees in state health establishments.
These health cards are effective since the date that 72-month-old children are
provided the health care cards. The cards will be provided for children by the
People’s Committee at localities where they reside permanently.
Under the regulation on health insurance cards, if the health
cards of those children who are undergoing treatment in hospitals expire, they
still receive free examination and
treatment until that treatment stage ends.
