Participants evaluated that, thanks to the timely leadership and instructions of the Central Military Commission and Ministry of National Defense, the social and health insurance work in the military has been effectively implemented over the past time. This year, relevant agencies of the Ministry of National Defense and military units have comprehensively carried out and successfully fulfilled all set plans. 

Accordingly, all servicemen in the military and their family members have now had medical insurance cards with access to health checkups and treatment at both military and civilian medical facilities. The military insurance sector actively applied IT to its task implementation and sped up administrative reforms so as to meet the requirements of the management of social and medical insurance in the current context. They also paid due attention to disseminating policies on social and medical insurance.
