ABSTRACT:

This article studies the salary and income of doctors at public hospitals in Vietnam based on the survey results of 228 doctors at 5 central hospitals, 9 provincially run and centrally run hospitals and 10 district hospitals. The surveys were conducted during April and May, 2021. Research results show that it is necessary to have a correct viewpoint of the nature and role of salaries, bonuses and welfare regimes in the total income of doctors paid by public hospitals; It is also necessary to compare and evaluate the salary and income of doctors in public hospitals with the salaries and incomes of other industries and fields, other hospitals, and with colleagues in the same hospital; in order that essential changes can be made in state regulations, hospitals administration following a state-owned manner, and doctors perception of salary and income.
