The National Traffic Safety Committee (NTSC) and Asia Injury Prevention Foundation held a review of the law in Hanoi recently. The passage of the helmet law in 2007 has also led to financial gains, saving Vietnam an estimated 3.5 billion USD in medical costs, lost output, and pain and suffering, said Dr. Khuat Viet Hung, Vice Chairman of the National Traffic Safety Committee.
