alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long chaired a meeting of the standing board of the provincial Party Committee on December 15 to collect opinions on additional state budget allocation for 2023 for the provincial Social Security to purchase health insurance for those covered by the State budget, and to support the coverage for 2023.
alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial
Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long speaks at the meeting.
Participants said the additional budget estimate for the provincial Social
Security is appropriate given the current circumstances, in order to ensure the
rights and interests of those participating in health insurance and achieve the
2023 goal of reaching a health insurance coverage rate of 95.2% of the total
local population (90.27% in 2022). It is also aimed at allocating sufficient
funds for those covered by the State budget and providing support for health
insurance coverage as stipulated.
They offered feedback on the wood processing and biomass pellet plant in Yen
Bong commune, Lac Thuy district. This project has a total investment of over
815 billion VND (33.9 million USD), covering an area of over 160,000sq.m. Once
completed, it will manufacture interior wood materials to meet domestic and
export demands, contributing to the development of the local wood processing
industry, generating jobs to local workers and increasing State budget revenue.
Concluding the event, Long underscored the importance of social insurance
policies and agreed with the proposal from the Civil Affairs Board of the
provincial People’s Committee regarding the supplementary budget for the
provincial social security to purchase health insurance for those covered by
the State budget and support coverage for 2023. He suggested ensuring the
correct use of State budget to purchase health insurance for the people,
holding awareness campaigns to encourage the public, especially those in remote
areas, to undergo regular health check-ups and ensure their rights in using health
insurance. He asked relevant authorities to regularly inspect health insurance
expenditures to prevent abuse and exploitation of health insurance policies.
About the wood processing and biomass pellet plant project in Yen Bong commune,
Lac Thuy district, the provincial Party Secretary agreed with the need to
launch the project which is to contribute to promoting the forestry economy,
improving the value of forest products and actively addressing local
employment.
He
assigned the board to expedite the project, and asked relevant agencies and Lac
Thuy district to create favourable conditions for the smooth implementation of
the project.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
