The deployment of the online medicine purchasing feature on VNeID is considered a new step on the digital transformation journey towards the goal of increasing benefits for people in comprehensive health care and protection.
From January 1, 2025, people can buy medicine online from Long Chau pharmacy on the VNeID application. This solution not only saves time but also ensures transparency, safety and information security thanks to a technology system that meets modern standards, creating convenience and peace of mind for customers.
Sharing with Lao Dong, Ms. Phan Lieu (living in Tan Binh, Ho Chi Minh City) said that buying medicine on VNeID is very convenient, civilized, and suitable for young office workers like her.
“After providing the necessary information, the pharmacy will confirm the order and deliver the medicine quickly, even with free shipping. With this feature, people can easily review the prescription they have purchased, to update relatives and doctors when necessary,” said Ms. Lieu.
Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy (residing in Tan Hiep, Long Thanh, Dong Nai) said that she does manual work and is very busy, so ordering medicine quickly, easily, with public prices and clear origins makes her very happy.
“I am not a tech-savvy person, but it only took me a short time to use this medicine purchasing feature. What I am most happy about is that it is very convenient, helping me avoid going far to buy medicine when necessary. Moreover, ordering through VNeID makes me completely secure because it is confidential and safe,” said Ms. Thuy.
Ms. Minh Hien in Quang Ngai said that both her husband and she have chronic diseases and have to take prescription drugs for a long time. Therefore, every time they run out of medicine, they have to go buy it directly, which is very difficult, not to mention that not all pharmacies have it. But when there is a feature to buy medicine on VNeID, she can easily ask her children and grandchildren to order for her, and the goods are available quickly, which makes her feel very secure.
The pharmacy utility is a component of the Electronic Health Book. This is an essential utility for people to proactively track their medical history, prescriptions and purchase medicine centrally on VNeID.
Talking to Lao Dong, Dr. My Loan - currently working at the Ho Chi Minh City Heart Institute - said that by purchasing medicine through VNeID, along with having an electronic health book and integrating a health insurance card, doctors can easily trace the origin of products, pharmacists can advise... This is very important for consulting and supporting patients when examining and treating diseases. Furthermore, linking with health insurance also contributes to creating transparency in sharing payment for medical examination and treatment.
