Thereby, contributing to affirming the spirit of "Congress of Action", creating a practical mark right from the beginning of the 2026-2031 term.
With 23,378 union members and workers being supported, it shows that the scale of the Program is relatively large, has a strong spread, and the selection of target groups as workers suffering from critical illnesses and occupational diseases shows the sharing and companionship of the Trade Union organization at the time when workers face the most difficulties" - Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu commented.
This is also the first time the care program of the Trade Union organization has been implemented through a social security account on the VNeID platform. The innovation of support methods contributes to improving publicity and transparency, ensuring support for the right people, reducing organizational costs and gradually promoting digital transformation in the care of union members and workers.
Through the process of reviewing, preparing dossiers and appraising, the program not only provides immediate support but also helps trade union levels to better identify the number, circumstances and needs of union members and workers suffering from dangerous diseases and occupational diseases.
This is an important practical basis for researching and developing long-term support policies, mobilizing more social resources and improving the effectiveness of care work in the period 2026 - 2031" - Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu said.
