Free health check-ups for all residents

After nearly two months of the 180-day-and-night peak campaign on universal periodic health checkups, more than 2.1 million people across Dong Nai have received free health checkups or screening, including examinations and treatment covered by health insurance, equivalent to more than 48% of the city's population.

Across communes and wards in the area, authorities are simultaneously reviewing information, compiling lists, and organizing health checkups for residents. In addition to priority groups such as older people, people with meritorious service to the revolution, members of policy beneficiary families, members of poor households, and children aged 0 to under 18, employees working at businesses, officials, civil servants, and public employees are also receiving health screenings.

To ensure that no one is left behind in healthcare, that every resident receives at least one health checkup in 2026, and has an Electronic Health Book established, the entire political system of Dong Nai is making concerted efforts, urgently coordinating efforts, and addressing difficulties and obstacles to carry out this important political task effectively.
