NAPAS, Mastercard, and Payoo Donate Over 4 Billion VND to Provide 2,010 Cancer Screenings and Host “Zero-Dong Fair” for Disadvantaged Women

On December 14, 2025, the National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS), Mastercard, and Payoo jointly hosted a ceremony in Hanoi to provide free cancer screenings for three common types of female cancers—breast, cervical, and ovarian—along with HPV testing for disadvantaged women, as part of the social welfare program “Sharing Touch, Giving Hope.”

During the event, NAPAS, Mastercard, and Payoo donated 2,010 cancer screening and HPV testing packages—a modern method for early detection of cervical cancer risks. These 2,010 packages were allocated to the Vietnam Women’s Union (1,000 packages) and the Ho Chi Minh City Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority’s Youth Union (1,010 packages), to be distributed directly to vulnerable women working in industrial zones in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hung Yen, and Bac Ninh, as well as migrant workers in these areas.

Following the ceremony, 400 women will receive cancer screening services at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. The remaining beneficiaries will be screened from December 2025 to January 2026 at Thanh Nhan Hospital, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Clinic in Ho Chi Minh City, and Gia Dinh People’s Hospital.

Over three months, the “Sharing Touch, Giving Hope 2025” program garnered strong community support through two key initiatives:

• Tap-to-Pay Campaign: Each successful transaction contributed 2,010 VND to the cancer screening project. Over 2.2 million NAPAS and Mastercard tap-to-pay transactions were recorded at participating stores.

• “Run for Health” Initiative: This campaign converted 2,010 VND per kilometer run online and 20,100 VND per kilometer at live events, engaging youth in charitable activities. Live running events attracted nearly 3,000 participants, completing nearly 12,000 kilometers. The online running event saw over 4,400 registrations, with more than 240,000 valid kilometers and over 32,000 runs logged in 30 days.
• Alongside the free screenings, the program hosted an online seminar titled “Early Cancer Screening: Proactive Health Journey,” featuring medical experts.
• The “Sharing Touch, Giving Hope 2025” program successfully raised over 4 billion VND. These funds will finance 2,010 free cancer screenings and HPV tests. Additionally, the “Zero-Dong Stall” initiative continues at hospitals, providing essentials like rice, cooking oil, fish sauce, salt, shampoo, and body wash to alleviate financial burdens for beneficiaries.

Mr. Nguyen Dang Hung, Deputy CEO of NAPAS, shared insights on the program’s significance:
“Three years of collaboration with Payoo and Mastercard in the ‘Sharing Touch, Giving Hope’ program underscores NAPAS’s commitment to sustainable development intertwined with community contributions. Our partnership with the Vietnam Women’s Union for 2025–2030 reinforces our long-term CSR focus on women. We believe the program’s tangible support will continue to create positive, lasting societal impact.”

Mr. Ngo Trung Linh, CEO of Payoo, highlighted the program’s scalability:
“The ‘Sharing Touch, Giving Hope 2025’ initiative is just the beginning. We aim to collaborate with like-minded organizations and businesses to establish annual social welfare activities, expanding opportunities for the disadvantaged and contributing to Vietnam’s sustainable development.”
