"Why is the Ministry of Health implementing NSW so drastically, as one of the early connection ministries from 2015 but why so far it has just connected 5 administrative procedures?" - Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Tien frankly acknowledged and request the specialized agencies of this ministry to have specific information to report to the Task Force.
