Xuyên Đông |

The Ministry of Health said that people who are blind in 1 of 3 colors will not be eligible to take the driving test.

According to the reflection of Ms. N.V.K. L in Ho Chi Minh City, in Appendix I of Circular No. 36/2024/TT-BYT on health standards for drivers and specialized motorbike drivers, one of the conditions that does not meet the standards is the disorder of recognizing 3 basic colors: red, yellow, green.

Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Health answers as follows:

According to Appendix I of Circular No. 36/2024/TT-BYT dated November 16, 2024 of the Minister of Health regulating health standards, health checks for drivers and specialized motorbike drivers; periodic health checks for car drivers; database of health of drivers and specialized motorbike drivers, people with one of the following medical conditions are not eligible to drive according to the corresponding vehicle classes: "Disorder of recognizing 3 basic colors: red, yellow, green", understood as disorder of 1 in 3 colors is not eligible to drive.
