Hanoi population and fertility incentive policies

Overview

The Hanoi People's Committee has proposed new financial incentives to address declining fertility rates in the capital. The proposal includes providing 1 million VND to eligible couples who complete premarital health counseling and examinations at qualified medical facilities. To further encourage childbirth, the city suggested a 4 million VND support payment for female residents who give birth to two children before age 35.

Following these proposals, the city is moving forward with a support program for premarital health screenings as part of a national target program for healthcare, population, and development spanning 2026 to 2035. The initiative aims to ensure that 90% of couples receive counseling and screenings by 2030, with a goal of 95% by 2035. Health officials note that these screenings are vital for detecting hereditary diseases, infectious diseases, and congenital defects.
