  • Ho Chi Minh City proposes supporting resident doctors with up to 100 million VND annually for tuition fees.
  • Doctors in majors facing recruitment difficulties will receive an additional monthly allowance of about 10.62 million VND.
  • The proposal aims to attract and retain medical professionals in specialized fields within the city.

Ho Chi Minh City is considering a significant financial incentive package to bolster its resident doctor program. The proposal includes supporting tuition fees for resident doctors with up to 100 million Vietnamese dong (approximately $4,000 USD) per year.

This initiative aims to attract more medical graduates to pursue specialized training within the city's healthcare system. The support is intended to alleviate the financial burden of advanced medical education.

Furthermore, the proposal specifically addresses majors that traditionally face challenges in attracting sufficient candidates. Doctors pursuing these specialized fields would also receive a monthly allowance of approximately 10.62 million VND (around $420 USD).

This dual approach of tuition support and monthly stipends is designed to encourage doctors to commit to challenging but essential medical specialties, thereby strengthening the city's healthcare capacity and ensuring a skilled medical workforce for the future.
