Report on the tasks of the medical sector in the first 8 months of the year

At the regular Government meeting in August 2025, Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan said that in the first 8 months of the year, the Ministry of Health has focused on many solutions, in which building and perfecting institutions is one of the tasks that the Ministry of Health has actively implemented to remove difficulties and problems in the health sector.

At the beginning of the year, the revised Law on Pharmacy and Law on Health Insurance were passed by the National Assembly and took effect from July 1. Up to this point, the Minister said that all documents guiding implementation have been developed. Through these two Laws, problems related to health insurance policies, drug renewal issues, etc. have been basically resolved. These are also issues that the Prime Minister has paid great attention to and directed in recent times.

Regarding the fight against counterfeit goods, the Ministry of Health said that it has actively coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security and localities to focus on implementing solutions against counterfeit goods in the fields of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food safety.

In medical examination and treatment, also at the beginning of this year, medical facilities always pay attention to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment as well as patient satisfaction with medical examination and treatment.

Currently, the Ministry of Health has also signed a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to link tourism development with medical examination and treatment. If this work is done well, Minister Dao Hong Lan emphasized, the health sector will contribute to the country's double-digit growth in the coming time.
