With the F0 management system at home, those who quickly test themselves with positive results only need to log in to the address https://khaibaof0.tphcm.gov.vn to declare online and receive confirmation as F0. Before that, F0 had to go directly to the ward and commune health station to complete the declaration procedures and took a long time to wait because the station was overloaded.
In the early days of deployment, the software was not complete, there were some shortcomings such as the software running slow on the network, some F0 could not access the system or the system failed, had to declare many times; F0 is a child who does not have a citizen ID, so it cannot be declared; the elderly, not familiar with technology, difficult to implement; finished the declaration but did not receive a reply message… The health station also had difficulty calling back to instruct people to supplement information when declaring a lack of information; many stations lack computers, or old machines, weak networks, so medical staff have not really been offloaded. These inadequacies have been recognized and gradually overcome.

The Department of Health is an online F0 declaration service provider that will stick to reality, learn from experience and promptly supplement and adjust the application to minimize technical risks and create the most convenience. for user.
