The capital of Hanoi is striving to take the lead on the provision of care for contributors to the national revolution, veterans, as well as other welfare and public health services, by 2020.
The municipal authorities announced a detailed master plan on July 22, which foresees a network of nursing centres for contributors to the national resistance wars and veterans, and social support facilities.
It aims to develop the infrastructure of public and private social welfare providers, including the supply of high quality equipment.
As a result, the elderly, people with disabilities, and people suffering from mental health will find it easier to access social welfare services.
In the meantime, individuals and organisations are encouraged to invest in social services, especially those geared towards the elders.
Between now and 2020, Hanoi plans to implement 28 infrastructure projects worth 1.76 trillion VND (83.8 million USD) in public and private social support centres, with more than 1.3 trillion VND (61.9 million USD) being sourced from the city’s budget.
From 2021-2030, 28 other projects of this kind will be launched at a total cost of 3.5 trillion VND (166.7 million USD), with more than 1.26 trillion VND (60 million USD) from the city’s budget.
By 2030, the city aims to be able to accommodate all local contributors to the resistance wars, war veterans in nursing centres.
The city will promote the master plan and ensure that Party Committees at all levels, the Fatherland Front, trade unions and social organisations are aware of its objectives.
It will also refine its welfare support policies, allocate land as needed, develop human resources and expand cooperation in this regard, both at home and abroad.-VNA
