(HBO) – Over the past years, many new health insurance policies have been issued to better serve health insurance participants. The provincial social insurance sector has coordinated with the Department of Health to organise initial medical check-ups and treatments covered by health insurance on the basis of the reality of each grassroots medical centre. Health insurance participants can register for initial medical check-up and treatment services based on the locations of their houses, as well as working and studying places.

Health workers of the medical centre in Thuong Tien commune, Kim Boi district, the northwestern mountainous province of Hoa Binh, have outstandingly preformed their tasks of providing medical check-ups and treatments, and building trust among health insurance participants.

The inter-sectoral medical check-ups and treatments covered by health insurance hels health insurance participants select suitable medical centres, thus attracting more people to join health insurance.

The grant of health insurance cards to social policy beneficiaries has been carried out in an adequate and timely manner, benefiting over 638,000 people in 2018.

Since 2014, apart from 70 percent of State budget to assist near-poor households in buying health insurance cards, the province has received 20 percent from the project that aims to support near-poor households in northeastern and Red River Delta provinces in buying health insurance cards. Since 2018, all people of near-poor households in the province have been given free health insurance cards.

All hospitals and medical centres in districts, city, communes, wards and towns and private medical clinics in the province offer medical check-ups and treatments to health insurance participants. Local medical facilities create favourable conditions for people to get medical check-ups and treatments covered by health insurance. Therefore, the number of health insurance participants increased significantly over the past 10 years. In 2009, the figure was over 531,000, making up about 67.65 percent of the provincial population, but climbed to over 817,000 in 2018 or 96.63 percent of the population.

All-level Party committees and authorities will devise plans and add health insurance-related targets to their annual working programmes and plans. They will also encourage people to join health insurance voluntarily and regularly.
