According to Bui Van Kien, Deputy Director
of Lac Son district’s social security agency, the unit has coordinated with the
Division of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs and relevant agencies to make a
list of people living in communes with special circumstances updated in the
national population database and the population database on residence. It has
also coordinated with the People's Committees of the above communes to make
lists of people without health insurance cards, those participating in
household health insurance, and those from agricultural, forestry and fishery
households who have participated in health insurance; and add information on

list of people living in three communes with special circumstances: An Nghia,
Tan My and Yen Nghiep.
The district has strengthened leadership
and direction on the implementation of the Party's guidelines, and the State’s
policies and laws on health insurance, directed the social security agency to
coordinate with the health centre to well organise medical examinations and
treatments using health insurance cards, ensure benefits for health insurance
participants when going for medical examination and treatment, and improve the
quality of health care. It also continues to coordinate with agencies and units
to well carry out dissemination work, and encourage people to participate in
social insurance and household health insurance.
With the determination to achieve the target
and plan assigned by the provincial People's Committee, the district People's
Committee assigned the Division of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the
district social insurance agency, and members of the steering committee on the
implementation of social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment
insurance policies to be responsible for regularly directing, urging, and
continuing to coordinate closely with units to increase the number of people
