An overview of the working session |
Under the project on enhancing the military’s DNA testing capacity to identify martyrs’ remains, the Military Medicine Department has recently coordinated with Viettel Enterprise Solutions Corporation under the Military Industry-Telecoms Group (Viettel) and relevant units to study IT requirements. Initially, the agencies outlined the scope, scale, and operational requirements as a basis for building internal software to digitize processes and manage DNA data and testing results.
The professional procedures targeted for digitization include profile management; tracking sample reception, preservation, storage, handover, and testing; managing and utilizing test results; aggregating data and progress reports; and integrating and sharing data with the Ministry of Public Security and relevant agencies to support martyr identification.

The Military Medicine Department and functional units are reviewing the processes of receiving, managing, and testing samples, alongside information at each stage. They are also working to standardize the coding system for martyrs’ remains samples to ensure consistency from receipt to final result, facilitating the tracking of storage locations, managing units, and sample processing.
After the field inspection of the management software at the Military Forensic Institute and hearing suggestions at the working session, Major General Do Anh Tuan urged units to accelerate progress, standardize procedures, unify management data, and define responsibilities for data updates.
He also stressed the need to clearly define components for upgrade and new development, manage each testing stage, and ensure connectivity with related information systems while safeguarding data security. He urged Viettel to coordinate closely with the Staff Department and the Military Medicine Department to continue reviewing and finalizing software and infrastructure plans, ensuring synchronized, effective, and on-schedule project implementation.
