Speaking at the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized: The ultimate goal of digital transformation in general and the implementation of electronic health books; issuance of temporary residence cards via the VneID application in particular is for the benefit of the people, for the happiness and prosperity of the people. Therefore, to widely deploy electronic health books and issuance of temporary residence cards via the VneID application, relevant ministries and branches need to coordinate closely, issue detailed and specific instructions on data interconnection, calibration, and standardization of management software in parallel with data cleaning and reasonable amendments and supplements to legal regulations to create a tight legal corridor for data sharing.

The Prime Minister clearly stated the guiding ideology in the work of digital transformation and the implementation of electronic health books; issuing LLTP cards via the VneID application: "Dealing, not retreating", doing, learning from experience, not being hasty; not saying no, not saying it is difficult, not saying it is difficult but not doing it. In the process of implementation, determination must be high, efforts must be great, actions must be drastic, work must have focus, key points; each task must be completed; clearly assigning people, tasks, and results. Ministries, branches, and localities must focus on building a database that is "correct, sufficient, clean, alive" and connected and shared. Regarding infrastructure, it must be smooth, governance and people must be smart, all for the life, health, life and convenience of the people, putting the interests of the people above all.

The Prime Minister requested ministries, branches and localities to focus on implementing the "5 promotion" viewpoint in conjunction with "5 assurances" and assign specific tasks to ministries, branches and localities in widely deploying electronic health books and issuing temporary residence cards on the VneID application.

Localities are required to strictly implement the process of issuing LLTP cards on VneID, ensuring safety and information security during the implementation process; review and complete the information system for handling administrative procedures at the provincial level to ensure synchronization, connection, and data sharing with specialized software. At the same time, step up propaganda and guidance for people to use electronic health books in a practical and effective manner to ensure people's rights and interests.
