Background: This study was conducted to describe the current situation of medical examination and treatment with traditional medicine for people and preliminary assessment of the results of medical examination and treatment with traditional medicine at commune health stations in Thoi Binh district, Ca Mau province. Objective: (1) Determine the proportion of diseases that people receive medical examination and treatment with traditional medicine at commune health stations of Thoi Binh district, Ca Mau province; (2) Evaluation of the results of intervention solutions for medical examination and treatment with traditional medicine in people who come for examination and treatment at the commune health station of Thoi Binh district, Ca Mau province. Materials and Methods: Design of a cross-sectional descriptive study and a controlled community intervention study design with available data at health stations and people receiving medical examination and treatment with traditional medicine. Results: Among the 400 study subjects, the proportion of diseases people treated with traditional medicine such as back pain accounted for 40,3%, neuropathic pain 29,3%, periarthritis of the shoulder accounted for 11,5%, headache and insomnia 17%. After the intervention, the rate of medical treatment using traditional medicine in the two intervention communes has increased markedly. Before intervention, this rate was 32,2%, after intervention was 44,6% (p<0.05). Conclusion: The number of patients receiving medical examination and treatment with traditional medicine at health stations is still low, but after the intervention, the rate of medical examination and treatment with traditional medicine of the health stations of the two intervention communes has shown remarkably positive results. There needs to be an expansion direction and further research to confirm the medical examination and treatment by traditional medicine methods at the grassroots level.
