It ensured safe, sustainable, and effective
control, management, and use of the social, unemployment, and health insurance

access to information about social and health insurance policies and laws.
At the conference, the provincial Social Security

In his remarks, Vice Chairman of the provincial

policies, comprehensively and flexibly take measures for collecting insurance
premiums and arrears, and strictly manage the provision of social insurance
benefits.
