To reach the goal of 85% of Hanoi`s population covered by health insurance by 2020, the city has taken a number of measures, focusing on raising public awareness, streamlining administrative procedures regarding the issuance of health insurance cards.
Hanoi is making efforts to ensure at least 1,000 people in each communal-level administrative unit are covered by health insurance by November 30 this year.
The communes which met standards of new-style rural building will have least 1,500 people covered by health insurance each.
At present, 5.17 million city habitants have been covered health insurance, accounting for 72.8% of the capital’s population.
However, the figure is still below the 2015 target of 77.2% assigned by the Prime Minister. The figure is set to be 85% by 2020.
In order to achieve the goal, the city has taken a number of measures, focusing on raising public awareness, streamlining administrative procedures regarding the issuance of health insurance cards, and improving medical check-ups at health facilities providing services for the insured.
In the first ten months of this year, the city’s health insurance fund paid 2.13 trillion VND for medical treatments and check-ups for about 4 million people.
