The program of giving health insurance cards to students in difficult circumstances "Sowing kindness - Spreading love" is implemented by the Social Insurance with the desire to help and support students in difficult circumstances to participate in health insurance to receive better health care, to enjoy the benefits that health insurance brings. This also contributes to promoting and raising awareness of the importance of health insurance cards, thereby increasing the rate of health insurance coverage for students in the area.

The funding source for giving health insurance cards is taken from contributions from civil servants, public employees, and employees of the provincial Social Insurance and support funds from Vilaconic Joint Stock Company.
