Vietnam is considered a potential market for M&A deals thanks to the rapidly developing private healthcare system, the increasing demand for high-quality healthcare services and the increasingly open State policies that encourage foreign investment in the healthcare sector. "In the era of international integration, digital technology, competition and cooperation, we need to strive, innovate and be creative to respond to new challenges and opportunities," said Mr. Nguyen Toan Thang.
Deputy Chief of Office of the Ministry of Health Nguyen Toan Thang spoke at the conference.
The goal of Vietnam's health sector by 2030 is to continue expanding the scope of community health care programs, with special attention to developing medical examination and treatment services, ensuring health security and improving the ability to respond to climate change and emergency situations.
The health sector also focuses on controlling disease risk factors, improving the capacity to manage the medical environment and aiming to ensure fairness in medical examination and treatment to meet the growing health care needs of the people.
Experts share at the conference.
Along with the continuous expansion and diversification of hospital, pharmaceutical and medical equipment models to improve the effectiveness of health care, the health sector is also promoting administrative procedure reform, transparency in management, licensing, and procurement of drugs and equipment. Improving the capacity of domestic production and distribution of medical equipment and promoting international cooperation are considered important solutions to strengthen the capacity of the health ecosystem.
International investment capital in the healthcare sector has recently become increasingly interested in the Vietnamese market. In this context, M&A has become a strategic tool to help the healthcare ecosystem develop faster, more sustainably and approach international standards. However, this sector requires a high level of transparency, strict legal risk management processes and professionalism in auditing, valuation and operations. Only when these standards are standardized can enterprises confidently participate in the investment and cooperation process. This is an opportunity for domestic and foreign enterprises and investors to meet, share experiences and expand cooperation, contributing to the formation of an M&A connection community in the healthcare sector in Vietnam.

Sharing the same view, some health experts believe that the development of M&A activities in the health sector in Vietnam is facing many challenges in terms of legal framework. Specifically, the legal corridor for M&A is not yet complete, administrative procedures are still complicated; regulations on corporate governance and asset valuation in the health sector are not yet synchronized, causing many difficulties for M&A deals.
With many years of experience working at the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management, Ministry of Health, Associate Professor, Dr. Dang Duc Nhu - senior advisor of Vietnam Medical Legal Consulting Company Limited (Medicallaw) shared that M&A appraisal in the medical industry is more complicated than many other fields because it involves a series of factors such as practice licenses, professional operation licenses, fire prevention and fighting standards, environment, key personnel, drug list and health insurance regulations.
In that context, HIMA 2025 is organized to create an open forum for management agencies and enterprises to exchange, remove obstacles, and promote the completion of the legal framework for healthcare M&A activities.
