On July 16, information from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health said that the Department has assigned Hung Vuong Hospital and the Traditional Medicine Hospital, which are hospitals with guaranteed capacity and experience, to be the inviting parties for the above two packages and mobilized human resources from the health sector to participate in supporting the selection of contractors. It is expected that by September 2024, the results of the selection of contractors will be available to begin supplying drugs to medical centers and health stations.
According to the representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, with the goal of firmly developing the grassroots health system, building a widespread health network close to the people, improving the quality and efficiency of grassroots health activities, Ho Chi Minh City is determined to promote solutions on human resources, facilities, and technology to meet the medical examination and treatment requirements of grassroots health facilities.
It is expected that by September there will be results of contractors supplying drugs to medical stations with more than 400 categories.

In addition to improving the quality of human resources with appropriate quantity and structure and ensuring that this workforce operates effectively in providing primary health care services, drug supply is also considered a fundamental solution to attract people to come to the health station for examination and treatment.
In 2022, the Department of Health has proposed expanding the list of drugs covered by health insurance participants at health stations. More than 30 types of drugs for the treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases and a number of other essential drugs have been added by the Ministry of Health to the list of drugs covered by health insurance at health stations, contributing to increasing the benefits for people when they come to the primary health care facility for examination, treatment and treatment management. The city also continues to propose adding a number of drugs for community mental health care covered by health insurance at health stations.
The Department of Health said that since the Law on Bidding took effect from January 1, 2024, the Department of Health has developed a general drug procurement plan for grassroots health care to increase the capacity to supply drugs for treatment needs, especially for health stations in the area. This policy has received consensus from the People's Committees of districts, towns, and Thu Duc city and has been implemented for health centers.
