If I have disc herniation, what health type do I get when I go to pre-enlistment check-up in Vietnam? Do I have to perform military service if I have disc herniation in Vietnam? What is administrative penalty for avoiding military service in Vietnam?
Hello, I have a problem that needs to be answered. I just received a call-up for a pre-enlistment check-up, and I have a disc herniation. I want to ask, what health type do I belong to when I have a disc herniation? Do I go to the military when I have a disc herniation? If I don't go to the pre-enlistment check-up, will I be penalized?
Looking forward to your reply, thank you.
If I have disc herniation, what health type do I get when I go to pre-enlistment check-up in Vietnam?
At Section 60, Subsection 4, Section II, Appendix 1 Classification of health according to physical strength and diseases issued together with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP stipulates neurological and mental diseases as follows:
60 |
Shoulder pain due to: |
|
|
- Degenerative spine neck: |
|
|
+ Light level |
3 |
|
+ Moderate |
4 |
|
+ Heaviness level |
5 |
|
- Neck Herniated Disc: |
|
|
+ Light level |
4 |
|
+ Moderate |
5 |
|
+ Heaviness level |
6 |
Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, disc herniation will be divided into 3 levels:
- Light degree is in health category 4;
- Moderate is health category 5;
- The Heaviness level is under health category 6.
However, in order to know exactly what kind of health you are when suffering from a disc herniation, you should go to the military service to be concluded by the Medical Examination Council in Vietnam.
Do I have to perform military service if I have disc herniation 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, which is supplemented by Point c, Clause 1, Article 49 of the 2019 Law on Militia and Self-Defense, stipulates postponement and exemption from conscription:
1. 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 analysis in Vietnam, those with disc herniation will be in health category 4, 5, 6 (depending on the level) and the health standard for recruitment is to recruit citizens with health type 1, 2, 3. Accordingly, you may be temporarily postponed from military service because you are not healthy enough to serve in the army.
What is administrative penalty for avoiding military service in Vietnam?
