This health check-up is part of Ho Chi Minh City's periodic health check-up program and is being coordinated locally with Tan Hung Ward Health Station. Eligibility for this program includes having permanent or temporary residence in Ho Chi Minh City.

As the current program is specific to Ho Chi Minh City, it does not extend to RMIT students based in Hanoi. Please monitor RMIT communications for any separate health check-up arrangements that may become available for Hanoi students.

Registration invitations are sent only to students who were confirmed as eligible based on RMIT student records as at 1 October 2026, including a valid Ho Chi Minh City residential address and national health insurance (BHYT) information arranged through RMIT.

If you meet the general eligibility criteria but did not receive an invitation, please check with your local ward/commune health station about other available periodic health check-up opportunities.
