In the case of Linh, who has congenital heart disease, without health insurance, Ms. Cho's family would not have the funds to take her to Hanoi for treatment because the cost would be too high.
Ms. Thao Thi Cho, Can Chu Su village, Can Cau commune, Simacai district shared: "The family took the child for surgery in Hanoi, the cost was nearly 200 million, but thanks to the health insurance card, the family did not have to contribute any expenses."
Thanks to the health insurance card, Linh can go to Hanoi for treatment.
In Simacai, many cases of people participating in health insurance when having health problems requiring treatment are paid hospital fees promptly, some up to hundreds of millions of VND. With the motto of ensuring that everyone when sick or having an accident receives medical care, the district Social Insurance has implemented many solutions. In particular, coordinating with specialized sectors, agencies, units, communes and towns to focus on communicating and implementing new regulations of the Health Insurance Law, especially propagating support policies so that people know and participate.
Mr. Do Van Vu, Director of Social Insurance of Si Ma Cai district (photo above) said: "Mobilizing people to participate in health insurance, including Decree 75/2023/ND-CP on the content of supporting the contribution level for ethnic minorities in the area affected by Decision 861 in 2021, with people supported with a contribution level of up to 70%, the monthly contribution level for people is only 24,300 VND/month, 291,600 VND/year. This is a very large support level for people in the highlands, helping people to participate in health insurance".
Along with issuing health insurance cards to the poor and meritorious people, supporting health insurance for people is of interest to Simacai district, at the same time focusing on implementing 30 peak days to mobilize people to participate in health insurance, striving to complete the health insurance target in 2024. The goal is to raise people's awareness of the benefits of participating in health insurance, and to do a good job of taking care of people's health in the area.
