Social health insurance (SHI) has played a key role in the successful transition of Vietnam’s HIV response from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to local support. As local governments, organizations and people living with HIV assume greater responsibility paying for HIV services, improving SHI and HIV service efficiency are vital.

Policy Impact Assessments are a key step in law development and a new requirement under Vietnam’s 2015 Law on Laws.
