Mr. Bui Van Coi, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Association, said: The whole province currently has over 112,000 HVND. To raise farmers' awareness of social insurance and health insurance, we focus on disseminating information about benefits, benefit levels, and cases eligible for payment, and at the same time coordinate with the Social Insurance sector to open direct consultation sessions to answer questions. Thanks to that, the voluntary health insurance and social insurance policies are increasingly entering life and attracting the attention of a large number of members.
Accordingly, the Associations at all levels have shifted from mass propaganda to in-depth approach and detailed analysis so that farmers understand that this is not an immediate "expenditure" but an "investment in social security" for the future. In the past three years, on average, each year, the Farmers' Associations at all levels have coordinated to organize over 30 propaganda sessions for nearly 2,500 participants.
After the two-level government model came into operation, the coordination between the Farmers' Association and the Social Insurance agency continued to be maintained and effective from the province to the commune and village levels. The procedures for registration to participate in health insurance and social insurance were handled right at the commune level, creating maximum convenience for the people. Mr. Nong Van Thang, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Dinh Lap commune, said: The commune has 26 branches with 906 members. After the two-level government came into operation, we "went to every alley, knocked on every door, checked every subject" to mobilize the Farmers' Association to participate in insurance. At the same time, the association established zalo and facebook groups to propagate regularly and promptly. Thanks to that, the awareness of the Farmers' Association has been increasingly improved, many members have become active propagandists. Currently, the whole commune has over 720 members participating in health insurance and nearly 50 members participating in voluntary social insurance, reaching 100% of the assigned plan.
Not only that, HND levels also flexibly advise, answer questions, and guide on-site procedures in places that are easy for farmers to access, such as at highland markets, branch meetings, professional association groups, etc., creating closeness and convenience for members. In addition, HND levels coordinate with the Social Insurance agency to guide farmers in choosing a payment method that suits their economic capacity. HVND can proactively pay monthly, quarterly or yearly and can flexibly increase or decrease the voluntary social insurance contribution level according to income at each time. Association officials also regularly monitor, remind and support members during contribution periods, helping the insurance participation process to take place smoothly, sustainably and continuously.
Mr. Luong Van Hoang, HVND of Phai Luong block, Ky Lua ward said: Before, I thought that farming would make it difficult to have a pension in the future, so I was not interested in voluntary social insurance. But when the commune HND officials propagated and explained specifically about the benefits and appropriate contribution levels, I understood better and have participated in voluntary social insurance since 2023 until now. Thanks to that, I feel secure because I have a support for security when I retire. Not only that, I also encouraged people around me to learn and participate to ensure my long-term benefits.
Thanks to the synchronous and drastic participation, the number of members participating in health insurance and voluntary social insurance in the province has increased steadily over the years. By the end of 2024, the whole province had over 110,700 members participating in health insurance and nearly 570 members participating in voluntary social insurance (an increase of more than 10,000 members participating in health insurance and nearly 100 members participating in social insurance compared to 2023). In the period of 2023 - 2025, all levels of the People's Council mobilized 223,582 members to participate in health insurance and 1,272 members to participate in voluntary social insurance, achieving the set target.
It can be seen that the HND levels have become an important bridge to bring insurance policies to each HVND household. Participating in voluntary health insurance and social insurance not only helps farmers have more support to ensure their lives but also contributes to the goal of universal insurance coverage, building a stable and sustainable rural community.
