Units are also allowed to develop and promulgate appropriate internal spending regulations, increasing the efficiency of using financial resources.
If the unit operates well, increases revenue, saves costs, and has a difference in revenue and expenditure, a part of it can be used to pay additional income to officials, and at the same time, some funds will be deducted. To successfully complete that important task, the institute must promote its potential, based on the state's investment priority, in which financial management is a very important part. With new tasks and new conditions, the Institute needs to improve its financial management capacity to coordinate with other areas of training and medical examination and treatment to contribute to the sustainable development of the institute. Based on the above theoretical and practical awareness, I chose the topic "Improving financial management at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion" as my master's thesis in financial management with the desire and We hope to contribute to that general research process, contributing to strengthening the institute's financial management, aiming for financial autonomy in accordance with the country's development trend in order to maximize and use effectively.

Research context The healthcare system in Vietnam plays a pivotal role in the country's socio- economic development. In recent years, the health sector has made significant strides in protecting, caring for, and enhancing the health of the population.
To support these goals, the Government has implemented several major policies related to the health system. Among these, granting autonomy to hospitals is viewed as a key policy, aligning with the country's development trajectory. Notably, Decree 10/2002/ND-CP, which initially granted financial autonomy to revenue-generating public service units, was replaced in 2006 by Decree 43/2006/ND-CP. This updated decree expanded autonomy and self-responsibility in task performance, payroll organization, and financial management for public service units.
These policies encompass all public service sectors, including healthcare and medical examination and treatment facilities (Government, 2006; Ministry of Health, 2010). This reform is crucial in Vietnam's administrative overhaul, enabling public service entities to thrive and evolve within the socialist-oriented market economy framework. The policy empowers health sector public service units to proactively achieve professional goals and tasks through organizational and personnel restructuring (Nguyen, 2020). In the health sector, public service units are granted financial autonomy, allowing them to utilize regular budget allocations and revenue sources to perform professional duties.
These units can also establish and enforce internal spending regulations, thereby enhancing the efficiency of financial resource utilization. Successful operations that increase revenue, reduce costs, and generate a surplus can allocate part of the surplus to augment staff incomes, with some funds being set aside for further investment (Tran, 2010). To fulfill this important mandate, institutions must leverage their potential, prioritizing state investments with a strong emphasis on financial management. Given new tasks and conditions, it is imperative for institutions to enhance their financial management capabilities.
This enhancement will facilitate coordination with other 1 areas of training and medical examination and treatment, contributing to the sustainable development of the institution (Dinh, 2021). Based on the theoretical and practical understanding outlined above, I have chosen the topic "Improving Financial Management at the Central Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion" for my master's thesis in financial management. My goal is to contribute to the broader research process and strengthen the institute's financial management, aiming for financial autonomy in line with the country's development trend to maximize and effectively utilize financial resources. Research objective Based on the principles of financial management of public service units in the health sector and the current situation of financial management implementation at the Central Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, the proposed topic aims to suggest solutions to help the institute perform better in financial management, contributing to the development of the institute towards efficiency and sustainable development.

2 CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW AND THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN PUBLIC SERVICE UNITS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD 2. Theoretical background of public service units 2.1 Concept of Public Service Unit Public service units (DVSNCL) are organizations established to carry out public service activities. These activities provide essential services to society to maintain and ensure its normal functioning. Professional activities conducted by these units do not directly create material wealth, but they significantly impact productive forces and production relations, determining society's labor productivity.
These professional activities are primarily service-oriented and not profit-driven (Nguyen, 2020; Dinh, 2021). Public service units are defined based on the following criteria: there is a formal establishment decision by a competent authority at the central or local level; they are provided with funds and assets by the state to perform political and professional tasks and are allowed to generate certain revenues according to state regulations; they have a payroll and accounting apparatus according to state regulations; they are independent units with legal status, their own seal, and accounts opened at the State Treasury for financial revenues and expenditures (Tran, 2010).2 Characteristics of Public Service Units Public service units operate on the principle of serving society, not for profit. Unlike production and business activities, public service activities provide services to the economy, but their primary purpose is not profit-oriented. The state maintains, organizes, and finances non-business activities to provide services to the market, primarily to execute its role in redistributing income and implementing public welfare policies by intervening in the market (Government, 2006; Ministry of Health, 2010).
This support from the state helps economic sectors operate normally, raises people's knowledge, fosters talents, ensures and develops human resources, and promotes 3 economic activities to develop more effectively, thereby improving people's lives, health, and spirit (Nguyen, 2011). Public service activities in the Youth Union are always associated with and governed by the state's socio-economic development programs. In a market economy, the state organizes and maintains public service activities to ensure the execution of socio-economic development tasks.
