(HBO) - The use of chip-based citizen ID cards to replace paper health insurance cards in medical facilities in Hoa Binh is expected to be the start of a roadmap for the gradual replacement of paperwork in health care procedures, thus reducing the waste of time and money of local residents.
Under the Government's Project No. 06, the
province’s health sector set a target of having 100% of medical establishments
accept the use of chip-based citizenID cards in examination and treatment
services instead of paper health insurance card.

As many as 232 medical stations in Hoa Binh have
accepted the use of chip-based citizenID cards in place of traditional
health insurance cards, bringing convenience for local residents and ending the
situation that patients use other people's health insurance cards to get
insurance-covered medical treatment or cheat to take advantage of health
insurance funds.
The provincial General Hospital has been
equipped with more than 10 chip-based citizenID card readers.
Recently, the ratio of patients
usingchip-based citizenID cards to access medical treatment covered
by health insurance has increased.
Luong Son district’s health centre leads medical
establishments in Hoa Binh in applying chip-based citizenID cards for
registering medical examination and treatment services, with 8,202 successful
transactions out of 11,268 attempts. The unsuccessful transactions were due to
insufficient data in the database.
The centre has been equipped with five ID card
readers, reducing waiting time for patients.
According to statistics of the Vietnam Social
Security’s chapter in Hoa Binh, so far, there have been nearly 562,000
chip-based citizen ID cards synchronized with insurance data. All public
healthcare facilities at district level and above have implemented lookups of
health insurance information via chip-based citizen ID cards with a success
rate of 61.5%./.
The women's unions at all levels in Kim Boi district have been making significant contributions to the movement of building cultural life in the local community.
The movement helps improve rural look and the spiritual and material lives of local residents.
The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has issued an action plan to ensure food safety, promote processing, and develop the market for agricultural, forestry, and fishery products in 2025.
In recent years, the development of rural handicrafts has not only helped preserve and promote the traditional values but it has also created jobs and improved incomes for the local residents.
By harmoniously combining traditional medicine with modern medical practices, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine Hospital is strengthening its role in the province’s healthcare system.
