The program "Giving Social Insurance books and Health Insurance cards to people in difficult circumstances" is one of the meaningful humanitarian activities that Nghe An Social Insurance has effectively implemented over the past 7 years.

With the desire to have more and more people participate in and benefit from social security policies, since 2016, cadres, civil servants, public employees, and employees of the provincial Social Insurance agency have donated a part of their salary to give voluntary social insurance books and health insurance cards to people in difficult circumstances.

This movement has become an annual activity of the provincial Social Insurance sector. From an activity only taking place within the sector's staff, the movement has spread and has had the participation of many businesses, organizations and philanthropists.

In the period of 2016-2021, the Provincial Social Insurance received contributions and support from cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers in the whole industry and organizations and individuals outside the industry of over 1.6 billion VND. From this source of funding, the Provincial Social Insurance presented 3,711 health insurance cards and 172 voluntary social insurance books to people in difficult circumstances in poor communes in the province.

In the first 7 months of 2022, the provincial Social Insurance sector continued to receive contributions and support from cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers in the entire sector and the contributions, support, and companionship of 241 organizations, businesses, and philanthropists in the whole province with an amount of over 1.6 billion VND.

With this funding source, Social Insurance from the province to the district has coordinated with local authorities at all levels and relevant units to organize the donation of 410 voluntary Social Insurance books and 2,327 Health Insurance cards to people and students in difficult circumstances in the province.

Mr. Hoang Van Minh - Director of Nghe An Provincial Social Insurance said: The movement of giving voluntary social insurance books and health insurance cards has strongly spread the spirit of mutual love and support, helping people in difficult circumstances to access social insurance and health insurance policies of the Party and State. Health insurance cards and social insurance books given to people are practical and meaningful gifts, providing both material and spiritual support to help people receive health care, reduce worries about medical examination and treatment costs if they are unfortunately sick or ill, and enjoy retirement benefits when they reach retirement age, especially for people in remote, isolated and extremely disadvantaged areas.

The sharing and support of civil servants and public employees of the Social Insurance sector of Nghe An province and organizations, businesses and philanthropists are not only the motivation for people in difficult circumstances to strive and improve their lives, but also contribute to spreading social security policies among the people; so that the policies and guidelines of the Party and the State on social security are increasingly put into practice; towards realizing the goal of Social Insurance and Health Insurance for all people.

In the coming time, Nghe An Social Insurance in coordination with the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee will continue to call for support and companionship from organizations, businesses, and philanthropists; hoping that this kindness and love will spread more widely; so that the entire political system, all levels, and sectors join hands with the Social Insurance sector towards the goal of all people having access to medical services, having pensions and receiving health care when they are old, "Leaving no one behind".
