Digital Citizen Stations bring new health services
A Digital Citizen Station has appeared on Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street Ho Chi Minh City offering free digital healthcare services to residents and visitors
A Digital Citizen Station at a pedestrian street in Ho Chi Minh City now offers a range of health services to city residents. This initiative, spearheaded by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Public Security and partners, aims to increase accessibility to public services, digital health, and digital utilities. Utilising Vietnam's national electronic identification and authentication platform, VNeID, the station allows citizens to log in with their ID card or VNeID account, verify their identity via biometric authentication, and receive instant medical checks.
These services, which include measuring height, weight, body mass index, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, heart rate, body fat, and body water levels, are all free of charge. Additionally, citizens can schedule vaccinations, consult doctors online, access digital pharmacy services, and have medications delivered at no cost.
The station has rapidly become a convenient healthcare touchpoint in the midst of daily life. The model, which integrates specialised medical equipment, meets hospital-grade examination standards, and employs biometric verification, ensures quick, safe, and secure processing of health services. Long Chau, a company known for its extensive network and modern technology platform, was chosen to operate the healthcare services at the station due to its trust among millions of citizens and its successful integration with the VNeID platform.
This initiative is part of Vietnam's national electronic identification and authentication platform, VNeID, and contributes to the government's Project 06 and Politburo Resolution 57 on digital transformation. The model represents a breakthrough in applying AI and digital technology to serve citizens and build a modern, transparent, and people-centric e-government.
The station model is being rolled out in several major urban developments across Ho Chi Minh City, including CityLand Park Hills. Future plans include expanding the model to other urban areas and localities across the country.
