Distinguish between rich and poor in public hospitals
================================================== ====================

VietNamNet Bridge - In the same public hospital but there are two completely opposing world for wealthy and poor patients. It should be noted that many hospitals use public resources (doctors, nurses, machines, buildings, etc.) in private services in order to increase revenue, affecting the fairness in the approach to health care services of patients.


A hospital, two worlds

Patients of the center A have private rooms, with air conditioning and dedicated services. The price of each room is approximately VND2 million ($100) per day.

Next to center A is the oncology ward, where four child patients share a bed, accompanied by four mothers. As a result, the air in these rooms is always stuffy.



The Central Pediatrics Hospital in Hanoi has voluntary treatment centers at the level of A, B, and C, in which the voluntary treatment center A is the most outstanding. If patients come to the voluntary treatment centers B and C, they still have to wait (because the examination fee is only VND90,000 - $4.5) , while they will be served very quickly and at the best quality at the center A, where the examination fee is up to VND680,000 - $34.

The center A is established to meet the need of rich people, who can afford inpatient treatment cost of hundreds of USD per day but on one side it causes negative effects, of which the most prominent effect is that the poor can have a feeling of being discriminated.

While patients coming to the voluntary treatment center A are warmly welcome and the entire center is equipped with air-conditioner. Each patient is taken care by one nurse, has private room, etc., patients who use medical services at other zones have to queue for half of a day to wait for their turn.

Being tired, many patients sit, lie around the lobby to wait for their turn, making up a scene in stark contrast with the voluntary treatment center A, where patients are welcomed, treated very well.

For inpatient treatment, each poor patient has to share a bed with 2 or 3 or even 4 other patients.

"I know that my baby can catch diseases from other patients but we can not afford to use voluntary medical services. Sometimes a ten square meter room hosts nearly two dozen people," said the mother of a 7-year-old patient, who is being treated for cancer at the oncology ward.



More money, more choice

Without paying more money, patients must wait months to get surgery. But with the "fast operation" service, they will have to wait for 10 days. This situation currently happens at Viet Duc Hospital (Hanoi).

This service exists under the name of "quick surgical services." Accordingly, if patients pay an additional VND2 million ($100) (out of hospital fees in accordance with regulations,) the waiting time for surgery will be reduced significantly.

Because of overload, hospitals have to wait for a month to get surgery, but thanks to this new service, people who have money just have to wait for 7-10 days.

In the Bach Mai hospital, Hanoi, at the voluntary medical examination ward, the distinction is also clear: The examination fee is VND50,000/ time and it is VND100,000 if patients want to see professors.

It is similar at the Hanoi Medical University Hospital, where there is a very clear distinction between the normal medical sector and the international examination ward.

According to Mr. Ly Ngoc Kinh, Deputy Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Health Economic Science, the opening of the medical service sector has contributed to significant improvement of hospital revenues, reduce budget pressures, and meet the needs of the patients who can afford to pay.

The policy is right, but there are many things to discuss about the implementation of this policy.

Money lost in translation
===========================================

VietNamNet Bridge – The demand for Vietnamese language versions of foreign titles is growing rapidly among young readers.

However, cumbersome procedures in the publication sector have raised prices of such books, making it difficult for the youth, especially students, to buy them. For instance, there is considerable interest in Tai Chinh Quoc Te, the Vietnamese language version of Jeff Madura's International Financial Management which has been advertised widely in colleges and universities around HCM City.

"The book is necessary for us students. It contains interesting facts about international finance and the global financial crisis.

"But it's very expensive at VND460,000 (US$22), " said Nguyen Truc Giang, a third-year-student of HCM City's Economics College.

International Financial Management was translated into Vietnamese by a group of teachers of the economics and law universities in HCM City.

The translation was sent to Singapore for printing and the Vietnamese edition imported into Viet Nam for distribution.
The book is distributed by Fahasa, the city's Book Distribution Company at its bookstores around the country.

Tai Chinh Quoc Te is just one of many Vietnamese editions of foreign books that readers have to buy at high prices.
"Export and import fees have raised the prices of Vietnamese language versions," said Le Van Tron, president of HCM City's Printing Association.

He said printing technologies in Viet Nam were not inferior to other countries in the region, but "cumbersome regulations in printing publications have limited the chance of co-operation between domestic and foreign companies".

According to Minh Phuong, an official of the city's Information and Telecommunications Department, only three domestic printing companies in HCM City have applied for licences to print foreign publications this year.

"Publishers can buy copyrights of foreign books, translate them into Vietnamese and print the books in Viet Nam. Even then, the book will be expensive because of copyright fees," said Pham Minh Thuan, Fahasa director.

"Prices can be lowered if foreign companies sign contracts with a domestic business to print the Vietnamese version of a book in Viet Nam and is authorised to sell it in the local market," Thuan said.

The Publication Law, which is now being amended, stipulates that 100 per cent of publications that a domestic business prints under contracts signed with a foreign company must be exported.

However, stiff regulations have hindered foreign companies from signing contracts with domestic companies to print publications in Viet Nam, according to representatives of publication agencies at a recent meeting in HCM City.

Cemetery space scarce in HCMC
==================================================
Several people have recently found it more difficult and costly to find a final resting place for their relatives in Ho Chi Minh City, where State cemeteries have run out of land.


Progressive population growth has led to the high increase in demand for cemetery room in Ho Chi Minh City, making this field a profitable business for the private sector.

Tuoi Tre reporters recently went to Go Dua, one of the largest cemeteries of the city, in Thu Duc District.

Pham Van Bay, head of the cemetery’s management board, said that burial land of the State has run out. Private cemeteries still have plenty of room, but the price is rather high.

Bay reveals that there are 12 private graveyards with an area of 23 hectares each around Go Dua Cemetery.

Phuoc, the owner of a private cemetery, said that in 1990 when Go Dua ran out of good room, several families in bereavement asked to buy burial plots from households in the adjacent areas.

Since then, several local residents have divided their land into small lots for sale and earned much profit. Some people from other localities even came to buy agricultural land and then asked for permission from local authorities to sell graves.

Tuoi Tre reporters asked for the price at some private cemeteries and were told a six square meter lot costs VND45-60 million (US$2,155-2,873).

Similar business is also prevalent in Cu Chi District. Nguyen Lan, head of a private cemetery near Phu Hoa Dong Cemetery, took Tuoi Tre reporters to visit grave areas, which stretch more than one hectare each.

He said that people from the city center had come to buy land and built these grave areas for their family members.

Lan sells a plot measured at 1.5mX4m at VND20 million ($958) and will provide a small discount for those buying several plots at the same time. Besides him three other people are also selling burial plots in the surrounding area.

Around the 45 hectare Binh Hung Hoa Cemetery in Binh Tan District, there are 40 private cemeteries where a plot costs VND30-70 million ($1,437-3,352).

Since 2008, the city has worked on a plan to clear away this cemetery to make room for the construction of trade centers and parks; as a result these private cemeteries have had to stop burying.

Profitable business

According to the regulations of Cay Trac Cemetery in Cu Chi District, only permanent residents in Phu Hoa Dong and Pham Van Coi Communes are permitted to be buried there. However, people from other localities can also easily get a place there via brokers.

A Tuoi Tre reporter met broker Giang in a scorching noon, pretending to find a burial lot to reinter his grandmother.

“Just give me ID cards of you, your father and of the dead person, and I will manage to register you as temporary residents in the commune.

‘Before the exhumation day, I will take you to the commune to ask for a burial lot for your relative. The licensing fee will be VND1 million ($48),” Giang said.

Showing a lot located in the middle of two new graves, Giang said that “Your grandmother will lay here. Tomorrow, give me your ID and VND5-6 million first. After your grandmother’s coffin is lowered into the grave, you will pay me another VND10 million.”

Chinh, who introduced himself as manager of the Gia Do Cemetery in Binh Khanh Commune of Can Gio District, says several people wanted to reinter their relatives’ coffins there, but could not as they are not permanent residents in the district.

However, Chinh said that he could help for VND10 million a grave.

He said several people bought graves a couple of years ago at VND2 million each and are now willing to resell them. While showing spacious strips of land in the cemetery, he said that all of them are already owned.

“Many people have bought burial land to resell and own tens of lots each in this cemetery. For instance Tan, a rich man from Binh Tan District, who purchased 60 lots here several years ago but has not used any of them,” Chinh shared.

Local residents also said that several people are trading burial land by buying graves and saying they are for their relatives, but are in fact for sale.
