In 2024, 108 new units joined the insurance scheme, with 386 employees participating in compulsory social insurance, and 8,206 individuals participated in voluntary social insurance, raising the total number of social insurance participants to 171,582, representing 22.5% of the workforce, exceeding the target by 3,287.

The conference also announced Decision No. 105/QĐ-UBND, issued on January 14, 2025 by the Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, on the targets for developing social insurance and health insurance participants in 2025. The province aims for 23.4% participation in social insurance among the workforce and a health insurance coverage rate of 96.2% of the population.
At the conference, delegates focused on analysing and clarifying the difficulties and obstacles while proposing solutions to increase participation in social insurance and health insurance. These solutions included directing departments, sectors, and mass organisations at the district level to work directly with grassroots-level authorities to encourage participation in social and health insurance. Flexible strategies were proposed to encourage more participation and reduce fines for late social and health insurance premium payments. Additionally, they recommended integrating social and health insurance participation targets into the criteria for assessing cultural family status in annual evaluations at hamlets and residential areas, as well as enhancing social engagement in donating social insurance books and health insurance cards to those in need.
