The card also helps medical examination and treatment facilities save costs, reduce time to receive and manage patients and ease the work of doctors.
Besides, the Vietnam Social Security will also cut administrative procedures in the field of health insurance such as changing cards, adjusting information on cards, withdrawing cards, and reducing time for examination and payment procedures to prevent illegal profiteering from insurance funds.
Currently, Vietnam has 84.5 million people being insured, accounting for 89% of the population. The Vietnam Social Security sets the goal of insuring 95% of the population by 2025.
