Addressing the launching
ceremony, Deputy PM Dam said the system, jointly developed by domestic and
international health experts from the World Health Organization, is applied in
all grassroots-level medical stations, covering vaccination management and
people’s health monitoring. The government has instructed the Health Ministry
to update people’s personal and health information available in the database of
the Vietnam Social Insurance Agency into the system. He requested the health
sector and localities to actively and continuously deploy the system in all
health facilities at all levels. Dam also called on software developers to join
the programme, saying that numerous applications are needed to manage the data
on people’s health.
