Does having hemorrhoids mean having to conscript into the army in Vietnam?
I would like to ask, if someone has hemorrhoids, does he have to participate in the military service in Vietnam? Thank you.
Can hemorrhoids exempt from conscription in Vietnam?
According to Clause 4 Article 9 of Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, based on the points scored for 8 criteria recorded in the military service health examination form to classify health status as follows:
- Type 1: All 8 criteria score 1 point;
- Type 2: At least 1 criterion scores 2 points;
- Type 3: At least 1 criterion scores 3 points;
- Type 4: At least 1 criterion scores 4 points;
- Type 5: At least 1 criterion scores 5 points;
- Type 6: At least 1 criterion scores 6 points.
Therefore, diseases that prevent citizens from meeting the health conditions required for military service are specified in number 84 of Appendix 1 in conjunction with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, including:
84 |
Hemorrhoids: |
|
- External hemorrhoids: |
||
+ 1 tuft less than 0.5 cm in size |
2 |
|
+ 1 tuft of size from 0.5 cm to 1 cm |
3 |
|
- Internal hemorrhoids or hemorrhoids combined with 1 small tuft under 0.5 cm |
3 |
|
- Internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, or hemorrhoids combined with multiple tufts (2 or more tufts) sized from 0.5 cm to 1 cm |
4 |
|
- Hemorrhoids were operated on well |
3 |
|
- Many hemorrhoids, some are larger than 1cm, protruding hemorrhoids cannot shrink on their own |
5T |
|
- Hemorrhoids have been tied, now hemorrhoids have recurred |
5T |
Thus, based on the above regulations, for individuals suffering from hemorrhoids who do not meet the health conditions to participate in military service, it also depends on the size and type of hemorrhoids. Therefore, please go for a military service health examination to have the Medical Examination Board accurately conclude your health status under which health type.
Note: According to Clause 3 Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP, 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.
