The Vietnam Social Insurance was assigned to draw up suitable mechanisms, policies and solutions to accelerate the expansion of health insurance.
The Vietnam Social Insurance was also asked to launch a network of distributors in charge of collecting health insurance premiums paid by organisations and units, and streamline administrative procedures to create best conditions for people to take out insurance.
Besides, the People’s Committees of centrally-run cities and provinces should allocate their State budgets and mobilise all resources to support people in participating health insurance.
