The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, in coordination with the municipal Department of Science and Technology, the City Digital Transformation Center and the municipal Department of Public Security, has agreed on a plan to deploy electronic health records (EHRs) for all residents through the city's Digital Citizen App.
Health data will be continuously updated from medical facilities, health check-up programs, and screening initiatives, then integrated and centrally displayed on the app.
By leveraging the existing Digital Citizen platform, residents can easily access services without installing additional applications, while benefiting from the city's established digital infrastructure.
Users will be able to review their medical history, monitor health indicators and manage personal information conveniently.
Beyond individual use, the system also lays the foundation for data connectivity and sharing among healthcare providers, gradually forming a unified citywide health database.
This will support a shift toward data-driven healthcare management, enhancing operational efficiency and improving service quality, according to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health.
