From 2026, people will have periodic health check-ups or free screenings at least once a year, and will also be issued electronic health records to manage health according to the life cycle.

Currently, the Lam Dong Health sector is gradually deploying universal health check-ups, updating data and connecting electronic health records on the VNeID application, aiming to manage people's health synchronously and conveniently.

In addition to general examinations, people are also advised on preventing common diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, bone and joint disease, digestive disorders; and are guided to recognize early signs of stroke for timely treatment.

According to the Organizing Committee, the program not only helps people access health services right in their localities, detect diseases early, but also contributes to raising awareness about health care; and at the same time promotes the effectiveness of socialization in the field of health and social security work.
