Timelines for using student health insurance cards

News from Social Insurance said that according to Decree 188, the time when health insurance cards are valid for annual use varies by grade level.

Specifically, for first graders, the card is valid from October 1st of the first year of school. For 12th graders, the card is valid from January 1st to September 30th of that year.

However, students are encouraged to continue participating until December 31 of the final school year to ensure that their benefits are not interrupted and they do not have to repay the state budget support fund when changing their subjects.

As for students of universities and vocational training institutions, the first-year group has cards valid from the date of admission.

In case the 12th grade student's card is still valid after the school enrollment date, the health insurance card will be paid from the date it expires.

In case of final year students, the card is valid from January 1 to the last day of the month the course ends.

Similarly, the social insurance agency encourages students in their final year of study to pay health insurance to enjoy the support level until December 31 of their final year of study.

Children continuously attacked by dogs, doctors warn of vigilance

On August 11, the City Children's Hospital (HCMC) announced that it had just treated a patient named MQN (3 years old, male, residing in Dong Thap) who was bitten by a dog in the nape of his neck.

Medical history showed that 12 hours before admission, N. was playing in the house but did not know that a dog was sleeping nearby. The dog thought the child was attacking, so it jumped up and bit the right side of the neck and nape, causing a lot of bleeding.

The family immediately took the child to the local hospital for first aid overnight, then transferred him to the City Children's Hospital.

Here, the patient was given wound hemostasis, anti-rabies serum, rabies vaccine according to the schedule, tetanus serum, antibiotics, pain relievers, and wound cleaning. After 3 days of treatment, N.'s condition gradually improved, and the rabies vaccine schedule continued.

About a month ago, this hospital also received emergency treatment for a 5-year-old boy who was bitten by a dog and suffered dozens of deep, complex wounds to his head, face, neck, cheeks and eyes, requiring about 20 stitches.

Through the above cases, doctors recommend that parents should educate their children not to tease, joke or play around in front of dogs to avoid being attacked, causing injury and the risk of rabies infection.

If a child is bitten by a dog - even if it is a small wound - he or she should be taken to a medical facility immediately for wound treatment and rabies vaccination instructions.
