The USAID Local System Sustainability project will provide technical assistance to VSS to improve its Social Health Insurance (SHI) for the next four years.

The project will also support Vietnam’s transition to self-financing its HIV and tuberculosis prevention program.

The assistance will focus on three key areas, namely SHI policy implementation, management of SHI drugs and medical supplies, and exchange of information on health insurance policies, application of health technology and social health information systems.
