Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 308 elderly people aged 60 and over from June 2023 to October 2023 to describe the current status of medical examination and treatment services used by the elderly in the past 4 weeks in An Do and Hung Cong communes, Binh Luc district, Hanoi. The results of the study showed that the rate of elderly people using medical examination and treatment services at medical facilities in both communes was 61.3% in An Do and 61.4% in Hung Cong. The rate of elderly people with health insurance cards was 93.1%. Most elderly people from the two communes chose the grassroots health care facility for medical examination and treatment when symptoms appeared. The rate of regular health check-ups in Hung Cong commune is 15% lower than An Do commune. The rate of elderly people who seek treatment in the past 4 weeks is only about 50% of the total number of sick people To improve the use of health care services, additional education and information should be provided to the elderly, especially to Hung Cong commune.
