When a testicle is missing, what kind of health is classified when doing pre-enlistment check-up in Vietnam?

When a testicle is missing, what kind of health is classified when doing pre-enlistment check-up in Vietnam?

At Section 147, Subsection 9 Section I, Appendix 1 Classification of health according to physical strength and diseases issued together with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP stipulating kidney, urinary, and genitourinary diseases as follows:

Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, the lack of one testicle is classified as health type 3. However, in this case, you should go to the pre-enlistment check-up so that the pre-enlistment check-up board can make the best conclusion.

If I am missing one testicle, will I perform military service in Vietnam?

According to Point a, Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP stipulating the following health standards:

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.

Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 41 of the 2015 Law on Military Service, supplemented by Point c, Clause 1, Article 49 of the 2019 Law on Militia and Self-Defense, stipulating these following citizens shall have conscription postponed:

a) Any citizen whose health is unsatisfactory for active duty military service according to the conclusion of pre-enlistment check-up board;

b) Any citizen being the sole earner who directly takes care of his/her relative who lost working capacity or under working age; any citizen being the sole earner in a family suffering serious damage to humans and properties due to dangerous accidents, disasters, epidemics certified by People’s Committees of communes;

c) Any citizen who is a child of sick soldiers, people infected with dioxin and suffering labor capacity reduction from 61% to 80%;

d) Any citizen whose full brother/sister is a non-commissioned officer/active duty enlisted soldier or a non-commissioned officer/enlisted soldier performing service in People’s Army;

dd) Any citizen who is subject to emigration or evacuation in 03 first years to extremely disadvantaged communes according to the socio-economic development project of the State that is decided by People’s Committees of provinces or higher levels;

e) Any citizen who is official or youth volunteer assigned to extremely disadvantage socio-economic area according to the law provisions;

g) Any citizen who is studying at compulsory education institutions or receiving training of university level at higher education institutions or training of college level at vocational education institutions for a training course of a level.

h) Standing militia.

Therefore, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, if one testicle is missing in health type 3 and the health criteria for military recruitment are citizens with health type 1, 2, 3, you may perform military service.

However, the pre-enlistment check-up will still be based on other criteria, so the important thing still lies in the conclusion of the pre-enlistment check-up board. If you are in health categories 4 and 5, you can be postponed from military service because you are not healthy enough to serve in the army in Vietnam.
