To achieve this impressive rate, the sector continuously updates core data including: Citizen ID cards, health insurance, household registration, medical history, vaccination records, etc. Simultaneously, this data is directly linked to the National Population Database, strictly ensuring the principle that the data must be "accurate - complete - clean - and relevant".
