(HBO) – Hoa Binh has implemented a plan to receive people returning to the province from Ho Chi Minh City and southern localities since October 11. Nearly 400 people were brought back in the first round of the plan and they continued to implement pandemic prevention and control measures when returning to their localities. Districts and cities are urged to get concentrated quarantine facilities ready and carry out programmes to support the returnees.
Hundreds of labourers returning from other localities
have been employed by Lac Son Plastic Co. Ltd located in Vu Ban town after
recruitment at the end of August.
Lac Son district has presented gifts for 181
local workers returning from Binh Duong province as soon as they arrived at the
district’s concentrated quarantine facility.
According to Bui The Hoa, head of the district’s
Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Division, Lac Son accounted for nearly 50
percent of the total number of people returning from the southern provinces in
the first round. The district has made preparations to welcome the returnees
while ensuring adherence to the regulations on pandemic prevention and control
and giving them gifts as an encouragement.
Quach Thi Kieu, Director of the Department of
Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs of Hoa Binh province said most migrant
workers registering to return to their home villages in Hoa Binh this time are
from Binh Duong province who have faced difficulties due to the COVID-19
pandemic and have an urgent need to return to their hometown.
The provincial People’s Committee will make
consideration for the following rounds based on actual conditions of the
localities.
Regarding social security for returnees,
especially workers returning from southern provinces, Kieu said immediate
support would solve difficulties in the short term, but ensuring jobs for them
is a sustainable and long-term social security solution.
The province is providing support for returning
workers in line with the Government package under Resolution No. 68 and
proposals on adding Resolution No. 116 to assist workers who contribute to
unemployment insurance.
The department has developed a plan to
coordinate with districts and cities to review the number of workers who need
help, and at the same time expanded job placement programmes and provided
counselling support on labour export, Kieu said.
The department has also worked with management
boards of industrial zones inside and outside the province to grasp the
recruitment demands of enterprises to introduce jobs for labourers. For those
who wish to work abroad, the province will give them advice and support, she
said./.
In the afternoon of December 17, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism organized a summary and awarding ceremony for the Online Competition on preventing and controlling the Family Violence in 2024.
Implementing the Resolution of the 17th Provincial Party Congress to reach a health insurance coverage rate of 95% or more of the population, the Women's Union at all provincial levels has deployed the creative models and methods and effectively replicated them. These activities not only contribute to completing the social security goals, but they also spread the spirit of solidarity and sharing in the community.
Hoa Binh is carried out investment projects to upgrade three district medical centres in Lac Son and Yen Thuy districts and Hoa Binh city. The projects are funded by the central budget under the Economic and Social Recovery and Development Programme, aiming to improve healthcare services. The goal is to gradually develop a system of modern and quality district-level healthcare facilities.
To improve the cultural and spiritual life of the elderly, the associations for the elderly at various levels in Hoa Binh province have created many interesting and meaningful activities, attracting the participation of a large number of old people. These activities provide opportunities for them to improve both their physical and mental health, enabling them to live happily and healthily.
The pilot programme for sending Vietnamese workers to the Republic of Korea (RoK) for seasonal agricultural jobs continues under a collaboration between localities of the two countries, running for five years from January 1, 2022.
Staff of the Red Cross Society of Hoa Binh province were deeply moved by a meaningful and humanitarian act by Mr Vu Huu Lung, 86, in Hoa Binh city, to donate his corneas, which brought hopes to those yearning for the light. Before passing away, Lung left behind a noble wish to donate all of his organs, including his corneas, to help patients suffering from blindness and those in need of organ transplants to revive their lives.
