The program was initiated in 2023 with the name: 'Touch to pay, send thousands of loves' and was renamed 'Touch to share, Give hope' in 2024. Last year, the program awarded more than 2,000 free screenings and 200 financial support packages to high-risk patients. Following that success, this year, the program aims to continue providing free cancer screenings to 2,010 vulnerable women nationwide on the occasion of the 95th anniversary of Vietnamese Women's Day, October 20, 2025.
Napas, Mastercard, Payoo organize the third year of the social security program 'Touch and share, Give hope'
Entering the third year, instead of giving away thyroid cancer screening packages like last year, NAPAS, Mastercard and Payoo have chosen to focus on HPV testing - an important screening method to help detect the risk of cervical cancer early. The target group is expanded to vulnerable women such as female street workers, street vendors, domestic workers, workers... aged 30 - 50, temporarily residing in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
The race is launched directly at schools, each kilometer will correspond to 20,100 VND donated to the program.
Mastercard and Payoo continue to aim to turn every card tap, every step into motivation to continue writing the story of sustainable health for Vietnamese women. Accordingly, each NAPAS or Mastercard tap transaction at payment acceptance points affiliated with Payoo will contribute 2,010 VND ; each km completed in the online race 'Running for a Healthy Life' will continue to contribute an additional 2,010 VND ; for the in-person race launched by the Organizing Committee at the school, each km will correspond to 20,100 VND . All are used to support cancer screening and free HPV testing, providing health care opportunities for women who do not have the conditions to visit a doctor.

The campaign also launched a series of community activities on both digital platforms and live events. This included the online talk show 'Early cancer screening: A proactive journey for health'. The program featured medical experts, psychologists and beneficiaries to help the community understand the importance of early cancer screening, encourage a healthy lifestyle and develop the habit of regular health check-ups. In addition, there was the sports activity 'Healthy Running Steps', an initiative combining digital running and live races held at universities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Sharing about the meaning of the program, Mr. Nguyen Dang Hung, Deputy General Director of Vietnam National Payment Joint Stock Company NAPAS said: ' As a national retail payment infrastructure provider, for many years NAPAS has always promoted social responsibility, spreading human values through every action. Through each touch transaction, we hope to work with our partners to contribute practical and meaningful things to the community, especially vulnerable groups - those who need to be shared and given hope. We believe that the connection from payment to the heart will create positive changes, towards a developed, healthy and compassionate society.'
' Doing well by doing good' has always been Mastercard's philosophy, reflecting how businesses care about the world we live in - bringing positive impacts to people and communities. Mastercard is honored to continue to cooperate with NAPAS and Payoo to implement this meaningful initiative to raise awareness about the importance of early cancer screening, while providing completely free screening and HPV testing packages to thousands of vulnerable women. This initiative not only gives women the opportunity to live their lives to the fullest and discover their potential, but also gives cardholders the opportunity to contribute and create positive, long-term impacts for the vulnerable groups of society,' said Mr. Sharad Jain, Country Manager of Mastercard in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos .
Payoo representative, Mr. Ngo Trung Linh, General Director of Viet Community Online Services Joint Stock Company, the developer of the Payoo payment platform, emphasized: 'Payoo always considers the mission of spreading human values as an indispensable part of its development strategy.
