The information was revealed by the Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association (HCA). According to HCA General Secretary Vu Anh Tuan, information technology is mainly applied at provincial and central level hospitals, resulting in independent databases, inopportune software upgrades and mistakes in handling health insurance payments.
Therefore, the management and use of medical database is an urgent need for the health sector, he stressed.
