Therefore, people had to spend a lot of money on buying them at outside pharmacies. He proposed the health sector to take corrective measures so that people can enjoy benefits from health insurance during the medical examination and treatment process.

Voter Bui Van Nhung in Di An ward’s Binh Minh 1 quarter in Di An city petitioned provincial Social Insurance agency to have a solution to refund people for testing and buying medicine and supplies under the health insurance list when people go for medical examination and treatment at public health facilities and are asked by doctors to go to outside pharmacies to buy them (because the hospital runs out of medical supplies and drugs under the health insurance list) to ensure people's rights and interests when buying health insurance.
