Does person with dysuria participate in military service in Vietnam? 

For the past 2 years, I have been experiencing dysuria. However, I haven't gone to the hospital yet. So if I have this disease, do I have to serve in the military?

Answer: According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP, only citizens with health type 1, 2, 3 as specified in Joint Circular No. 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP dated June 30, 2016 of the Minister of Health – the Minister of National Defense on provisions for pre-enlistment check-up.

Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4, Article 9 of Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, based on the score for 8 indicators recorded in the military service health card to classify health, specifically as follows: 

- Type 1: 8 indicators all score 1;

- Type 2: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 2;

- Type 3: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 3;

- Type 4: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 4;

- Type 5: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 5;

- Type 6: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 6.

According to this Article, kidney, urinary, and genital diseases that lead to citizens not meeting the health conditions to serve in the military are specified in serial number 138, Section II, Appendix 1, issued with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP includes:

Urinary syndromes include:

+ Frequent urination, dysuria, difficulty urinating: 4 points;

+ Recurrent renal colic: 5T points;

+ Hematuria of unknown cause, pyuria, chylothorax: 5 points.

Thus, the case of dysuria can be classified as health type 4. Therefore, he does not meet the health standards to participate in military service in Vietnam. However, you should participate in the military service examination to get the most accurate conclusion from the Examination Council.

Can a person with a height of 1m68, weight 48kg, and chest circumference of 75cm be allowed to participate in military service in Vietnam?

I am male, 1m68 tall, 48kg weight, 75cm chest circumference, can I join the army? Thank you for your advice.

Answer: Based on Section I Standards for classification according to physical strength, Appendix I Classification of health according to physical strength and diseases issued together with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, your case is height 1.68m, weight 48kg, chest circumference 75cm will be classified as health type 3.

In cases of being too fat or too thin, BMI will be considered, specifically:

- BMI (Body Mass Index) is a body mass index that evaluates the relationship between height and weight:

BMI = Weight (kg): [Height (m)]^2 (Squared).

BMI is considered in cases where physical fitness standards are met, but there is an imbalance between height and weight: cases with BMI ≥ 30 are not accepted.

Here, your BMI is 17, still ensuring this regulation.

At the same time, Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP has regulations on health requirements for military recruitment as follows:

3. Health requirements:

a) Draft citizens with health type 1, 2, 3 as specified in Joint Circular No. 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP dated June 30, 2016 of the Minister of Health – the Minister of National Defense on provisions for pre-enlistment check-up.

...

From the above regulations in Vietnam, your physical health reaches class 3 health, your BMI is within the allowable range, so you still meet the standard conditions for military service (other conditions are not considered).

If I have tooth decay, will I have to participate in military service in Vietnam?

I currently have 2 cavities in my teeth. The dentist determined that I have level 3 cavities. So do I have to serve in the military?

Answer: According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP, only citizens with health type 1, 2, 3 as specified in Joint Circular No. 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP dated June 30, 2016 of the Minister of Health – the Minister of National Defense on provisions for pre-enlistment check-up.

In Clause 4, Article 9, Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP stipulates criteria for classifying health for military service as follows:

- Type 1: 8 indicators all score 1;

- Type 2: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 2;

- Type 3: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 3;

- Type 4: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 4;

- Type 5: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 5;

- Type 6: There is at least 1 indicator with a score of 6.

Based on Appendix 1 Classification of health according to physical strength and diseases issued together with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, cases of tooth decay are regulated as follows:

- Only level 1 - 2 tooth decay, no or little impact on chewing ability: 2 points;

- Having ≤ 3 teeth with grade 3 caries: 2 points;

- There are 4 - 5 grade 3 decayed teeth: 3 points;

- There are 6 level 3 decayed teeth: 4T points;

- Having 7 teeth with grade 3 or higher caries: 5T points.

So, in your case, you currently have 2 teeth cavities at level 3, you will get 2 points. So in this case, you will probably have type 2 health. Therefore, if you meet the remaining conditions, you will be able to participate in military service in Vietnam.
