The act of visiting and presenting gifts to patients in difficult circumstances is an annual activity of the VSS, continuing the tradition of 'Helping the needy' and 'Showing compassion for others', which are deeply ingrained in our national culture. In 2023 alone, the program 'Giving social insurance certificates and health insurance cards to people in difficult circumstances' by the VSS mobilized contributions from organizations, individuals, and the community. The sector received over 8,000 social insurance certificates, nearly 122 thousand health insurance cards, and more than 1,000 gift packages, equivalent to a total of 26.7 billion dong, to be given to people in difficult circumstances nationwide, contributed by organizations, businesses, and kind-hearted individuals nationwide, as well as contributions from civil servants, officials, and workers across the entire VSS system. Significant contributions came from 7 central enterprises, including Agribank, BIDV, Vietinbank, Vietcombank, MB Bank, Vietnam Post Corporation, and PVI Insurance Company.
