Cultural and sports movements contribute to improving people's spiritual life.

Resolution No. 72-NQ/TW dated September 9, 2025 of the Politburo "On a number of breakthrough solutions to strengthen the protection, care and improvement of people's health" is creating excitement among all classes of people.

Notably, according to the Resolution's goal, from 2026, people will be able to have regular health check-ups or free screening at least once a year, and have an electronic health check-up book to manage their health over their life cycle, gradually reducing the burden of medical costs. This means that the time to enjoy this policy is very near. In addition, by 2030, people will be exempted from basic hospital fees within the scope of health insurance benefits according to the roadmap...

Resolution 72 identifies comprehensive innovation in awareness and action in the work of protecting, caring for and improving people's health, with breakthrough solutions to aim at building a healthy Vietnam, in the spirit of "no one is left behind" in health care and medicine.

In particular, the Resolution emphasizes the viewpoint: Strongly shifting from a mindset focused on medical examination and treatment to proactive disease prevention, focusing on protecting, caring for, and improving comprehensive health, continuously throughout the life cycle.

Therefore, the viewpoint of "proactive disease prevention", focusing on protecting, caring for, and improving health comprehensively and continuously throughout the life cycle; the goal from 2026, people will have regular health check-ups or free screening at least once a year, and have an electronic health check-up book to manage health throughout the life cycle, are extremely meaningful and humane policy orientations, demonstrating the superiority of our regime, especially for those in difficult circumstances, remote areas, and those lacking access to health services. Not only reducing the financial burden on the poor, this policy also encourages all people to go for medical check-ups, creating a habit of regular health care to identify diseases early so that early intervention can be effective.

Towards the goals by 2030 as stated and the vision to 2045, "people's health indicators and essential health care coverage index are on par with developed countries in the region and the world. People have an average life expectancy of over 80 years old, of which the number of healthy years increases to over 71 years old; the average stature, physical strength and height of young people are equivalent to countries with the same level of development", Resolution 72 has set out 6 tasks and breakthrough solutions. That is not only the task of the political system and the health sector, but also the responsibility and awareness of each citizen for their own health, making the work of protecting, caring for and improving health a "health culture".

Resolution 72 clearly states: Raising awareness, habits, lifestyles, and responsibilities of each citizen and the whole society in proactively practicing, protecting, and improving health. Promoting the movement of the entire population proactively taking care of health, building a culture of health among the people.

Unanimously choose World Health Day on April 7 every year as “National Health Day”. Actively prevent and strictly control risks that affect health to create a healthy living environment. Minimize consumption of products harmful to health, especially tobacco, alcohol, beer, addictive substances that are harmful to human health. Focus on mental health care, create a balanced living, working, and studying environment, reduce stress, pressure, etc.

During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh paid special attention to taking care of people's health. He emphasized: "Every weak person means the whole country is weak. Every healthy person means the whole country is healthy." Therefore, to build and protect the Fatherland, we must first ensure the health of all people. Uncle Ho's saying is simple but profound, scientific and has strategic orientation.

Regarding Resolution 72, General Secretary To Lam also pointed out that prevention is the key - the grassroots is the foundation - the people are the center. The goal is to increase healthy life expectancy, reduce payments for patients, digitize the system, strengthen grassroots healthcare, improve service quality and patient satisfaction... Strive for the whole population to be "Healthy to study - Healthy to work - Healthy to be happy - Healthy to protect the Fatherland".
