The "shield" protecting the health of Ha Tinh students

In Ha Tinh , the results of implementing student health insurance in recent times not only show great efforts but also affirm the role of the social insurance sector in accompanying and taking care of the health of the country's future generations.

More than the benefits they receive when they are unfortunately sick, students also understand the meaning of "mutual love" when fulfilling their responsibility to participate in health insurance.

In the 2024-2025 school year, the whole province has nearly 264,000 students participating in health insurance. The health insurance fund has paid 115.8 billion VND for medical examination and treatment of students, including serious and incurable diseases, helping them have more motivation and confidence to continue treatment. Many students received large sums of money from the fund, such as: Hoang Nguyen Minh Duc - Hoa Lien Secondary School (from Co Dam commune) received 616 million VND from the health insurance fund; Tu Huu Trung Kien - Ha Tinh Specialized High School (from Dong Kinh commune) received 326 million VND; Pham Nhu Thuan - Kim Hoa Primary School (Kim Hoa commune) received nearly 56 million VND; Le Bao Chau - Le Binh Secondary School (from Tu My commune) received more than 66 million VND...

Ms. Pham Thi Thanh - mother of Le Bao Chau shared: "My child unfortunately suffered multiple injuries and had to undergo long-term treatment, with a total cost of more than 83 million VND. Thanks to the health insurance card, the family received most of the payment from the fund, significantly reducing the burden. Without health insurance, we really wouldn't know how to manage."

Last school year, Huong Son Social Insurance was one of the units that did a good job in mobilizing, propagating and paying the student health insurance fund. Mr. Nguyen Quang Giap - Deputy Director of Huong Son Social Insurance said: "We have mobilized the synchronous participation of schools, local authorities and parents to achieve a 100% coverage rate. More importantly, it helps children receive timely health care and protection, while reducing the burden of medical costs for families and society."

In fact, the work of mobilizing and propagating health insurance for students in Ha Tinh has become a regular and systematic task. Localities have promoted advantages, overcome difficulties, and been flexible and creative in their approach to contribute to "covering" the social security policies of the Party and State to students.

Mr. Lam Quoc Son - Deputy Director of Cam Xuyen Social Insurance, disseminated health insurance policy to 10th grade students of Cam Xuyen High School before the new school year began.

Mr. Lam Quoc Son - Deputy Director of Cam Xuyen Social Insurance shared: "We always stay close to the grassroots, coordinate with schools to promote student health insurance policies right from the beginning of the school year. The participation of local authorities, schools and the consensus of parents are the factors that help the student health insurance participation rate in Cam Xuyen area always maintain a high and stable level".

In recent times, Cam Xuyen Social Insurance has always been the unit that has completed and completed early 100% coverage of health insurance for students. This marks the close participation of the school principals.

Mr. Vo Ta Tinh - Vice Principal of Cam Xuyen High School said: "In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's student health insurance coverage rate reached 100%. The new school year is coming, we will try to be close and flexible in propaganda and mobilization to maintain the achieved results. Before the new school year, we will organize a working session with all parents and students and will integrate the topic of health insurance, thereby raising awareness of parents and students about the responsibilities and benefits of participating in health insurance".

Trước thềm năm học mới, thầy Võ Tá Tình - Phó Hiệu trưởng Trường THPT Cẩm Xuyên (thứ 2 từ trái sang) làm việc với đại diện BHXH cơ sở Cẩm Xuyên về một số vướng mắc khi triển khai BHYT học sinh. — On the eve of the new school year, Mr. Vo Ta Tinh - Vice Principal of Cam Xuyen High School (2nd from left) worked with representatives of Cam Xuyen Social Insurance about some problems in implementing student health insurance.

From July 1, 2025, according to Decree 188/2025/ND-CP of the Government , the State budget will support at least 50% of the health insurance premium for many groups of subjects, including students. Mr. Phan Van Anh - Deputy Director of Social Insurance of Ha Tinh province shared: "This is an important driving force, helping to reduce the financial burden for parents. We hope that with this support and with the drastic participation of localities and schools, the goal of covering 100% of health insurance for students will be completed in the 2025-2026 school year".

Student health insurance is not only a health care card, but also a sharing and joining hands of the whole community to care for and protect future generations. The fact that the health insurance fund accompanies students in every serious illness further affirms the humanity of the policy, while strengthening the trust of parents and schools in the social security system. With new steps forward, especially the 50% support policy just issued, Ha Tinh is aiming to not leave any student outside the solid shield of health - a practical provision for the young generation to study with peace of mind and develop comprehensively.
