Grade 1 Hypertensive disease: Score 4
Grade 2 Hypertensive disease: Score 5
Grade 3 Hypertensive disease: Score 6
According to the provisions of Clause 4, Article 9 of Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, based on the score for 8 criteria recorded in the military service health card to classify the health of participating citizens. Medical examination for military service, specifically as follows:

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

Thus, hypertensive diseases with the above levels will have health from type 4 to type 6 depending on the case in Vietnam.
And Point a, Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP has regulations on health requirements for military recruitment as follows:
