Ministry of Health Updates Healthcare Standards

The Ministry of Health continues to review, improve, and standardize national standards and technical regulations to enhance the management quality, safety, and international integration of healthcare services provided to the public.

Development of Legal Regulations

The legal system regarding standards and regulations in the health sector is continuously developed in line with laws amending certain articles of the Law on Product and Goods Quality and the Law on Technical Standards and Regulations.

These amendments establish a solid foundation for reforming conformity declaration procedures and recognizing the results of conformity assessment.

Standard Updates in Various Fields

Based on practical management requirements, the Ministry of Health continues to develop and update standards in numerous fields such as pharmaceuticals, disease prevention, medical examination and treatment, food safety, and medical equipment.

In the fields of pharmaceuticals and traditional medicine, the Vietnamese Pharmacopoeia VI has been published, containing more than 1,300 standards related to medicinal herbs, vaccines, and testing methods.

National Standards Strategy

Narrowing the gap between domestic and international standards is among the fundamental requirements set by the Ministry of Health.

This orientation aims to improve the quality of the national standards system within the scope of the National Standards Strategy for the 2026-2035 period, approved by the Prime Minister.
