Regulatory Services in Vietnam

The Ministry of Health (MoH) is responsible for overseeing all regulatory activities for pharmaceutical products including medicines, biologicals, and medical devices. The divisions that fall under the MoH includes the Drug Administration of Vietnam (DAV) that oversees pharmaceuticals, and the Department of Medical Equipment and Construction (DMEC) which monitors medical devices activities. The Department of Pharmaceutical Management (DPM) is responsible for ensuring that Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are implemented and adhered to the WHO’s GMP standards. This increases pharmaceutical product export opportunities as most countries accept globally renowned GMP standards.

In order to obtain marketing authorization for a drug, pharmaceutical manufacturers must obtain either a drug manufacturing or drug trading license from the DAV. However, only Vietnamese-based entities can obtain a license. Foreign companies that wish to seek marketing authorization for their products in Vietnam are more likely to succeed by partnering with an entity that has experience in the Vietnamese pharmaceutical regulatory sector.
