On June 16, 2009, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 823/QD-TTg to designate July 1 every year as Vietnam Health Insurance Day. This event demonstrates the will and determination of the Party, State and Government in implementing the goal of universal health insurance, creating conditions for all people to receive health care through the health insurance policy.

The annual Vietnam Health Insurance Day is an opportunity to promote propaganda and mobilize people to join hands and contribute to the effective implementation of the Health Insurance Law with a roadmap to implement universal health insurance, for the health of themselves, their families and the community, and for national security.
