Departments, branches and localities in the province have deployed many solutions and utilities related to the development of digital society and digital citizens in a modern and convenient direction, as well as improving the operational efficiency of community digital technology groups to act as a "bridge" between people and local authorities in propagating and implementing digital transformation activities in general and digital society in particular.

Focus on raising public awareness

According to the report on the digital transformation assessment index of ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies and centrally-run provinces and cities - DTI at ministerial and provincial levels in 2023 announced in February 2025, for the digital society pillar, Dong Nai ranked 31st in the country.

In the main component indexes, Dong Nai is among the leading localities nationwide in digital awareness ranking, ranked 7th in digital human resources ranking and ranked 10th in the country in digital social activities...

The province's digital social infrastructure has been deployed to the grassroots level in recent times, contributing to improving the efficiency of connection and developing digital social platforms and applications in the area. Currently, the province has more than 3,500 3G/4G/5G mobile information transmission and reception stations, covering 100% of residential areas and neighborhoods in communes, wards and towns. In addition, broadband internet infrastructure covers 100% of districts and communes in the province.

Deputy Director of Healthcare Division of FPT Information System Company Limited (FPT IS) NGUYEN DUY HIEN shared that in Dong Nai, we have been implementing many technology solutions for hospitals to apply digital payment solutions, promoting cashless payments. In the near future, the company will continue to expand digital utilities for healthcare; connect and provide solutions related to electronic medical records, smart healthcare... locally.

In addition, the positive impact of the activities of community digital technology groups, especially the youth union members and technology-savvy youth, has helped people in the province access digital technology more quickly. These groups are considered the "extended arms" of the local government to guide and promote people and households to use online public services, make cashless payments and interact with the government via digital platforms.

Recently, the Provincial Youth Union launched the Digital Popularization Movement in all levels of the Youth Union based on more than 800 community digital technology teams established since 2024. Currently, the province has established 240 Digital Popularization teams, including 11 district-level teams and 229 grassroots-level teams.

Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union Nguyen Minh Kien emphasized: “This year’s Youth Month, we consider the Digital Popular Education Movement as one of the most important movements. Because only when we grasp the basic requirements of the new era, the era of national development, can the Youth Union promptly adapt and operate with a new momentum, ensuring the mission of carrying out the Union’s political tasks in the new period.”

Promoting digital solutions

Dong Nai is increasingly interested in and focusing on developing digital social utilities, especially digital solutions in healthcare, education, administrative reform, etc.

In February 2025, Bien Hoa City People's Committee piloted a public service kiosk at the Bien Hoa City Reception and Results Department and Tan Phong Ward People's Committee. This kiosk brings many conveniences related to handling administrative procedures. People can conveniently look up information, look up records, and submit records online.

The public service kiosk model was piloted by VNPT Dong Nai in coordination with local authorities in Bien Hoa city.

In the education sector, in 2024, relevant departments, localities and units piloted the Google digital classroom system at a number of schools in Bien Hoa and Long Khanh cities. The application of digital classrooms helps improve learning and teaching skills, increase interaction between teachers and students, as well as between students...

In the healthcare sector, recently, major hospitals in the province have collaborated with technology units and major banks to deploy many digital payment services and digital healthcare kiosks. At the same time, they have regularly upgraded and expanded utilities related to digital healthcare.

In March 2025, Dong Nai General Hospital and Thong Nhat General Hospital signed comprehensive cooperation agreements with branches of the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) in the province, including Vietcombank Dong Dong Nai and Vietcombank Dong Nai, including cooperation related to promoting digital transformation, online payment, and cashless payment in the healthcare sector.

Director of Dong Nai General Hospital Ngo Duc Tuan shared that the signing of the cooperation agreement with Vietcombank Dong Dong Nai will be a new “interface” in finance, promoting smart medical services. Especially, in the current era of digital technology development, the connection between finance and healthcare not only helps optimize services but also brings a better experience to customers and patients, aiming to serve the community more professionally and effectively.

Director of Vietcombank Dong Nai Branch Pham Thanh Vinh expressed that within the framework of cooperation, Vietcombank Dong Nai was chosen by Thong Nhat General Hospital as a partner to provide online payment connection services via dynamic QR codes and integrated payment via POS machines. This service has many utilities such as: automating payment processes; improving hospital operational efficiency, optimizing fee collection, managing cash flow in real time; promoting cashless payments, etc.
