Healthcare is a fundamental right and a personal responsibility. With healthcare costs on the rise, the Buy now Pay later option not only alleviates financial burdens but also ensures that individuals do not miss the critical period for treatment. This is particularly crucial in Vietnam, where out-of-pocket expenses account for 40% of total healthcare costs (according to the report at the 2023 health insurance conference), placing significant pressure on those with average incomes and the young with little to no savings. The Buy now Pay later model offers instant access to quality healthcare services, propelling society towards better health and greater happiness.
This partnership enables customers to book medical treatments and appointments at over 200 prestigious hospitals and medical centers, offering the flexibility to pay later within 14 days or 1 month at zero cost or over a period of up to 12 months with transparent and no hidden fees.
Nguyen Anh Cuong, Co-founder & CEO of Fundiin, stated at the ceremony: "Through this strategic partnership, we aim to underscore our profound understanding of the financial pressures faced by those seeking quality healthcare services. Recognizing the severe implications of delayed medical treatment, our collaboration is dedicated to enhancing healthcare access and community health. The financial convenience of the Buy now Pay later service reflects our commitment to helping everyone overcome financial barriers, striving for the noble goal of a healthier and happier society."
