Visiting patients in the departments, General Director Nguyen The Manh encouraged patients about their health status, treatment process, and health insurance participation process; at the same time, informed patients about the great benefits and advantages of the health insurance policy.

Over the years, hospitals and social insurance agencies have always coordinated well in organizing and implementing health insurance services, with the ultimate goal of satisfying and benefiting participants.

In the coming time, General Director Nguyen The Manh requested units to promote tradition, focus resources, and strengthen coordination with the Social Insurance agency to better implement health insurance treatment work.

On June 16, 2009, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 823/QD-TTg to designate July 1 every year as Vietnam Health Insurance Day. This event demonstrates the will and determination of the Party, State and Government in implementing the goal of universal health insurance, creating conditions for all people to receive health care through the health insurance policy.

The annual Vietnam Health Insurance Day is an opportunity to promote propaganda and mobilize people to join hands and contribute to the effective implementation of the Health Insurance Law with a roadmap to implement universal health insurance, for the health of themselves, their families and the community, and for national security.
