In the past, to develop social insurance and health insurance participants, we have implemented many solutions such as: Reviewing and classifying potential groups to have appropriate forms of propaganda, coordinating with blocks and hamlets to promote communication work on social insurance and health insurance policies in meetings at the grassroots level... In addition, we regularly post information related to the rights of social insurance and health insurance participants on social networking sites such as Facebook, Zalo, associations, groups... Thanks to that, the number of social insurance and health insurance participants at Nghi Phu Commune Post Office is always stable.
