If I have asthma, do I have to participate in military service in Vietnam? 

I am currently 18 years old and have been mobilized for military service. But I have dental problems including 7 broken teeth and have had asthma and difficulty breathing since childhood, can I still serve? Sincerely thank.

Answer: According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP, only citizens with health categories 1, 2, 3 are recruited to join the army according to the health classification standards in the Joint Circular. 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP.

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.

Accordingly, diseases that lead to citizens not meeting the health conditions for military service are specified in Section II Appendix 1 issued with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP includes:

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

- Asthma:

+ Mild asthma without complications: 5 points

+ Moderate and severe asthma, asthma with complications; Bronchial asthma with chronic maxillary sinusitis or nasal polyps: 5 points

Thus, in case you have asthma and difficulty breathing, your health will be ranked 5. In addition, if you have 7 decayed teeth, it will depend on the depth of the teeth to reach a conclusion in Vietnam.

However, in our opinion, if only considering your health condition, your asthma would not qualify you for military service. However, you should have a military service examination to get an accurate conclusion from the Medical Examination Council in Vietnam.

Best regards!
