Nghe An Province Launches 2026 Campaign for Universal Social and Health Insurance
Nghe An province has officially kicked off a month-long campaign to expand the reach of universal social insurance and health insurance. The initiative aims to build a more sustainable and humane social security foundation by increasing participation in voluntary social insurance and family health insurance programs across the region.
During the launch ceremony, officials from the Nghe An Provincial Social Insurance Agency called for a coordinated effort involving political organizations, government agencies, businesses, and the general public. The agency emphasized that spreading accurate information about insurance policies is critical to ensuring that all citizens can access essential social protections.
Grassroots Outreach and Strategic Implementation
To move beyond official announcements and reach the people directly, the Nghe An Provincial Social Insurance Agency deployed specialized promotion teams immediately following the launch. These teams are working at the grassroots level to encourage residents to enroll in insurance plans, providing direct guidance on the benefits of coverage.
The campaign is utilizing a network of social insurance offices and post offices to streamline the process of providing information and encouraging participation. By making these services more accessible, the province aims to meet its 2026 targets for insurance coverage and ensure a steady increase in the number of voluntary subscribers.
Community-Based Support: The Trung Do Model
A key feature of this year’s campaign is the establishment of localized communication centers. In a collaborative effort, the Nghe An Provincial Social Insurance Agency partnered with the Nghe An Provincial Women’s Union, the Truong Binh Dong People’s Committee, and the PVI North Central Insurance Company to open a dedicated resident communication center in Block 6, Trung Do, Truong Binh Dong.
This center serves as a practical hub where residents can receive:
- Professional advice on social and health insurance policies.
- Direct support for enrollment and registration.
- Timely answers to specific questions regarding coverage and benefits.
By innovating how the government communicates with the public, this model aims to foster greater trust and shift public perception, encouraging residents to actively seek out and utilize the benefits provided by national insurance policies.
Key Takeaways of the 2026 Campaign
- Goal: To establish a sustainable social security net through universal health and social insurance.
