National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man met with voters of the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang on September 30 ahead of the 15th NA’s 8th session.

Man revealed that during its 8th session, scheduled to open on October 21 and last until November 30, the NA will consider several important bills, including the draft law amending and supplementing several articles of the Law on Health Insurance. The amendments aim to guarantee fairness between service-based medical examinations and those covered by health insurance, ensuring equal treatment for patients in terms of service attitude and access to medications. Additionally, the management of both public and private hospitals will be made more transparent and equitable.

He also highlighted efforts to simplify administrative procedures, allowing citizens to access medical examination and treatment more easily. In the future, those who have purchased health insurance will be able to receive medical care anywhere in the country, at any provincial or district level, with coverage and payment facilitated nationwide.

Responding to concerns over ads and fraud on social media, the top legislator said the legislature will scrutinize the draft law amending and supplementing several articles of the Advertising Law. A key focus will be regulations on advertising activities on electronic newspapers, online information portals, social media, online apps, and cross-border advertising services. There will also be stricter accountability for organizations and individuals providing cross-border advertising services in Vietnam.

The Ministry of Information and Communications is studying technical solutions and stronger sanctions to curb illegal and deceptive advertising activities in the digital environment, protecting consumers from fraud, he said.

Regarding the fight against corruption and negative behaviors, Man affirmed that this effort has been intensified in line with the motto of "no forbidden zones" and "no exceptions," ensuring strict, transparent and humane handling. This approach has earned the trust and support of voters and the public, and also been welcomed by the international community.

Updating voters on the country's socioeconomic performance during the first nine months of this year, the NA Chairman noted that Vietnam continues to strive toward a growth rate of about 7 percent this year, along with guarantee for social welfare, national defense and security, and fight against corruption and negative phenomena.

During its 15th tenure, the legislature has made concerted efforts to renew its approach to law-building in a more flexible and effective manner, he said, noting a push for decentralization and delegation of authority that enables local authorities to make decisions and hold accountable in line with regulations.

On the occasion, Man witnessed the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) symbolically present a donation of VND 5 billion (USD 208,000) to Vi Thuy district for the construction of rural roads. He also presented 200 gifts to trade union members living in need in the province.- (VNA/VLLF)
