Ho Chi Minh City digitizes millions of health records to improve disease tracking

Ho Chi Minh City is leading a bold healthcare revolution, shifting from a reactive approach to proactive, lifelong health management.

The city has launched an ambitious digital transformation project aimed at creating a unified, electronic health record (EHR) for every citizen.

This initiative is highly user-friendly; citizens can securely monitor their own health history directly through the city’s 'Digital Citizen' smartphone application, utilizing the VNeID identification system for safety.

This move is part of a larger national strategy in Vietnam, which sets a goal for every citizen to have a comprehensive digital health profile by 2030.

Building on years of experience with GIS disease tracking and AI-driven diagnostics, Ho Chi Minh City is establishing a new standard for data-driven governance.

This digital infrastructure not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures that life-saving preventive care is more accessible than ever for all residents.
