The Vietnam Social Security (VSS) received the Continuous Improvement Recognition Award at the 37th ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) Recognition Awards for its good performance in expanding voluntary social insurance coverage.
Some 81.3 million people across Vietnam have been covered by health insurance by the end of May, up nearly 21 million people from 2012 or 35.6 percent and representing 81.7 percent of the population.
Reforming social insurance policies is aimed at ensuring social insurance is truly a key pillar in the social security system and to gradually expand its coverage for all people, according to a resolution of the Party Central Committee.
The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) has decided to give a warning as a disciplinary measure against Tran Quoc Cuong, member of the CPV Central Committee and Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee of Dak Lak province.
