In a periodic review meeting in early February 2026, the Ministry of Health identified digital transformation as a core mission, strictly tied to absolute data security requirements and resource optimization to prevent waste.
Online public service performance:
The Ministry of Health’s administrative procedure system has recorded impressive operational figures as of early 2026:
-
Online application rate: Reached 98% (equivalent to nearly 80,000 applications).
-
National integration: Successfully integrated 136 administrative procedures onto the National Public Service Portal.
-
Synchronization: Data is updated in real-time from provincial and communal levels to the central system, allowing citizens and businesses to submit applications seamlessly between central and local authorities.
“Paperless Hospital” strategic focus:
The Ministry of Health has established a decisive roadmap for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Books:
-
2026 Objective: Complete the paperless hospital model across inpatient and outpatient facilities before December 31, 2026.
-
Data Integration: Accelerate the synchronization of Electronic Health Books on the national electronic identification app (VNeID) to manage citizens’ health data throughout their life cycle.
-
Data Governance Principles: Sector-specific data must adhere to the criteria of being “Accurate – Sufficient – Clean – Live – Unified – Shared”.
The Deputy Minister of Health emphasized that during implementation, all units must strictly comply with legal regulations, proactively identify and resolve obstacles, and place patient information security as the highest priority.
