Over 95% of public medical facilities have adopted electronic prescriptions and integrated them with the VssID application, standardizing prescription processes, drug management, and convenience for patients during treatment. 100% of pharmacies have implemented electronic prescription connectivity, and comprehensive health insurance payments using citizen identification cards have been implemented, creating a foundation for modern healthcare management. Currently, Quang Ninh province manages the health of 1,416,258 people (over 97%), linking 578,036 health records with the Ministry of Public Security's VNeID application, ranking 4th nationwide. Units within the health sector maintain effective remote medical examination and treatment connections with 11 central hospitals.
