As many as 2,361 health insurance cards, each valid for 12 months and valued at over 1 billion VND (39,400 USD) in total, were delivered to individuals from low-income and near-poor households.
Pham Minh Tuan, Vice Chairman of the city’s Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, expressed gratitude for the support of organisations, businesses, and individuals in caring for vulnerable groups during the 2025 Lunar New Year (Tet) Festival. This effort reflected the city's tradition of solidarity, ensuring everyone can celebrate a warm and meaningful festival.
Tran Dung Ha, Deputy Director of the city's Social Insurance Agency, emphasised the importance of programmes like Warm Tet for the Needy which received significant contributions from the social insurance sector's staff, businesses, and philanthropists.
Through this collaboration, the programme aims to foster a spirit of mutual support and expand access to social and health insurance policies, reinforcing the locality’s commitment to social welfare and inclusivity.
The annual initiative underscores the city's dedication to enhancing healthcare coverage and ensuring social security for all./.
