In clause 1.2 of Section I Scheme issued alongside Decision 2491/QD-BYT in 2023, it is clearly stated:
*On implementing Scheme 06:
- Completed the transfer of all COVID-19 vaccination data (more than 250 million doses) to the National Population Database, while maintaining the immediate transfer of newly emerging COVID-19 vaccination data daily; continued to update and "clean" the COVID-19 vaccination data in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security to verify information with the National Population Database, cooperate with the Ministry of Information and Communications on the vaccine passport signing system...
*On implementing digital health transformation:
- Continually maintain 100% comprehensive online public services for eligible administrative procedures, maximally applying information technology and digital technology to other administrative procedures, connecting and integrating on the national public service portal; relying on the operation of the mobile version of the Ministry of Health's online public service portal (including versions running on Android and iOS operating systems) so that citizens and enterprises can monitor processing, submit supplementary documents on mobile devices; forming the best communication and support channels for citizens and enterprises.
*Limitations and reasons:
- The development of projects to implement digital transformation tasks assigned by the Government of Vietnam to the Ministry of Health, particularly for tasks under Scheme 06, is essentially passive; the primary subjective reason is the lack of a comprehensive plan for infrastructure development to serve digital health transformation, updated with new requirements for national digital transformation, to serve as the basis for evaluating and proposing database and information systems projects.
- Difficulties in identifying and implementing technical solutions to meet the digital health transformation tasks in general and the tasks under Scheme 06 specifically stem from other subjective reasons...
