The IT Center has coordinated with the units of the VSS to perfect the adjustment of professional software according to 18 decrees, circulars and professional documents.

The directions of the General Director and Deputy General Directors of VSS on IT application and digital transformation have also been implemented expeditiously and actively, such as: Completing the industry's data management process; upgrading and adjusting professional software; completing participant data; perfecting the professional process of renewing health insurance cards by households with deduction of premium rates for uniform implementation in the whole industry.

Appreciating the achieved results, General Director Nguyen The Manh - Head of the Steering Committee requested members and units to focus on performing assigned tasks in May and June; in which, he emphasizes the synchronization of data of the sector with the population database of the Ministry of Public Security. “It is necessary to accelerate the progress, and strive to achieve 100% of the data to be collated and authenticated.
