The Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor stated that the program is being implemented with three key objectives: raising awareness of preventive healthcare and promoting healthy lifestyles; placing workers’ health at the center of the development process; and mobilizing the participation of the entire political system, businesses, and employers in caring for workers’ health.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Nguyen Hong Thai emphasized that Resolution No. 72 of the Politburo on strengthening the protection, care, and improvement of public health sets the target that, from 2026 onward, people will receive free periodic health check-ups or screenings at least once a year. He noted that the “Giving Health to Workers – For a Healthy Vietnam” program organized in Bac Ninh is a practical effort to realize this policy while spreading the message that workers’ health is a valuable asset for businesses and an important resource for local development.
The leaders visit and encourage the medical staff and workers at the event.
According to Bac Ninh Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Hong Thai, Bac Ninh is currently one of the leading dynamic industrial centers in the country with over 800,000 workers, including more than 600,000 trade union members. To improve the quality of healthcare for workers, the province is committed to continuing to consider the care and protection of workers' health as a regular and long-term political task linked to socio-economic development goals; and is determined to work with the whole country to achieve the target of 50% of eligible individuals receiving free periodic health check-ups by the second quarter of 2026, in accordance with Resolution No. 72 of the Politburo and the conclusions of the Central Party Secretariat.
The province will continue to bring healthcare services directly to factories, industrial zones, and workers' dormitories; accelerate the implementation of social housing projects with the goal of completing more than 20,000 units in 2026; and develop a comprehensive system of trade union institutions, grassroots healthcare facilities, and cultural and sports facilities to serve workers. Bac Ninh will also strengthen propaganda and raise awareness among businesses and employers about the role of workers' healthcare; considering this a crucial factor contributing to increased labor productivity, production and business efficiency, and sustainable enterprise development.
