Pfizer Vietnam and Long Chau cooperate to improve the capacity of vaccination medical teams and pharmacies

On September 10, 2025, Pfizer Vietnam and Long Chau Pharmacy & Vaccination Center System officially signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), opening a 2-year cooperation period to improve the capacity of thousands of Long Chau medical staff nationwide, contributing to improving the quality of public health care.

According to the agreement, the two sides will coordinate to implement activities to share and update scientific knowledge (directly and online) focusing on information on pathology, prevention and treatment options. The focus includes: improving the capacity of medical professionals in proactively updating new information on disease burden, clinical trials and preventive treatment options for respiratory diseases and serious infections; improving knowledge and clinical experience for pharmacists in disease prevention and management through conferences; and upgrading real-world data on prevention and treatment, especially for patients with chronic non-communicable diseases, to develop an educational material system for Long Chau's AI platform, supporting medical staff to access information effectively.

Respiratory tract infections are a constant health threat, ranging from common illnesses such as colds, flu, sore throat, laryngitis to more serious illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia. It is worth noting that many diseases have similar initial symptoms such as mild fever, cough, sore throat, stuffy nose, which can easily cause confusion and make patients subjective. This is especially dangerous for children and the elderly - vulnerable groups and at risk of severe progression when infected. (1)

In addition, pharmacies have become a familiar “medical touchpoint” where many Vietnamese people come to get initial consultation(2), choose appropriate medication or receive necessary advice before going to a specialized medical facility. Pharmacists therefore play a key role in supporting the community in recognizing signs of illness, providing primary care guidance and contributing to reducing the burden on the health system.

With more than 175 years of global experience, we bring scientific expertise and innovation capabilities to accompany Long Chau in training healthcare staff. We believe that the combination of capabilities and vision between the two parties will contribute to creating positive, practical and sustainable changes for Vietnam’s healthcare.”

Ms. Nguyen Do Quyen, Deputy General Director of FPT Retail and Executive Director of Long Chau Pharmacy and Vaccination Center System, shared: “We believe that the combination of Pfizer’s leading research and innovation capabilities and a widespread distribution system of 2,240 pharmacies and 190 vaccination centers, along with Long Chau’s team of highly specialized pharmacists and doctors, will create a comprehensive, sustainable and innovative healthcare platform for the community. This is not only a resonance of capabilities, but also a harmony of vision, for a healthier Vietnam.”
