According to PAPI, the pandemic has made the health sector “less sympathetic”. The level of satisfaction when using the services of public hospitals at the district, district and provincial levels has decreased. “This is the result of many hospitals and medical facilities treating Covid-19 patients being overwhelmed during the complicated development of the epidemic,” said Schule.
Regarding the index of controlling corruption in the public sector, the localities in the highest scoring group were “more evenly distributed”, in both the North and the South. However, the number of people who rate “fairness” in recruiting human resources into the public sector is still very low. “The situation of spending money to get a job in the state sector is still quite common. People still think that the relationship is a big determinant of the results of applying for a job as a commune-level civil servant,” the report stated.
The survey results show that this is most common in Son La and Dien Bien. The three localities with the lowest levels are Hung Yen, Thanh Hoa, and Binh Duong.
The proportion of people who carry out administrative procedures to apply for a new grant or renew a land use right certificate has to pay “underhand” ranging from 40-90% in more than 40 provinces and cities. However, this situation is common in poor provinces such as Cao Bang, Dak Lak and Soc Trang.

In 2021, nearly 16,000 people participated in the PAPI survey through face-to-face interviews or video calls.
