Hanoi to Implement Mandatory Periodic Health Check-ups for Residents from July 2026

Starting July 1, 2026, Hanoi will implement a policy to provide periodic health check-ups for its residents. This initiative is a concrete step in realizing the Capital Law (Luật Thủ đô), which comes into effect in 2026, aiming to enhance healthcare management at the community level. The introduction of these periodic health check-ups is intended to facilitate the early detection of potential illnesses, enabling residents to receive timely consultations, monitoring, and treatment. This marks a significant shift from a curative approach to a preventive one, aiming to raise the quality of healthcare services right from the grassroots. This policy, stipulated within the Capital Law, positions the improvement of residents' health as a crucial component of social security policies, being materialized through practical actions from the community's foundation. The Hanoi People's Committee seeks to extend the healthy life expectancy and improve the quality of life for its citizens through this endeavor.
