Within the framework of the Conference, right after the Opening Ceremony, delegates will attend 2 Workshop sessions. Workshop session 1 with the theme "Covid-19 and economic instability: Impact and response policies"; Workshop session 2 with the theme "Digital solutions for Social Protection".

Also according to the plan, on November 26, the 38th ASSA Conference will award the Effective Practice Award. In which, Vietnam Social Security is honored to receive the Award in the "Information Technology" category for "Deploying the VssID application - Digital Social Insurance - Creating conditions for participants to access information, perform public services on social insurance and health insurance (HI) conveniently, easily and quickly".

VssID application is an official mobile application of Vietnam Social Security to provide essential information to users about the process of participating in social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance (UI); information on receiving social insurance, unemployment insurance benefits; history of health insurance examination and treatment; 24/7 online support... helping participants grasp the process of participating in and enjoying policies, and at the same time self-monitoring and protecting their social security rights.

In particular, since June 2021, Vietnam Social Security has coordinated with health insurance examination and treatment facilities nationwide to officially deploy the use of health insurance card images on the VssID application instead of paper health insurance cards in medical examination and treatment, which has brought many conveniences and positive feedback from participants. This application is an important step, strongly promoting the digital transformation process of Vietnam Social Security. As of November 22, the whole country had over 24.5 million people installing the VssID application, of which over 22.8 million accounts have logged in.
