With the decentralization of the healthcare sector, more hospitals are coming up and the existing ones are being upgraded.

Increasing rate and prevalence of lung and liver cancer, TB, HIV, respiratory, cerebrovascular and heart diseases among the growing population of the country has created high demand for generic and patented drugs. The pharmaceutical companies in the country mainly manufacture generic drugs by importing raw material from other countries. In context of therapeutic drugs, majority of the demand is to treat diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. However to develop the domestic pharmaceutical sector the government has initiated efforts to streamline the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the industry. Foreign companies cannot directly enter the Vietnamese market; instead they need to partner with an indigenous company to distribute their products. The biggest pharmaceutical firms in the country are Hau Giang Pharmacy, Traphaco, Domesco, IMEXPHARM, and OPC.

This presents an opportunity for private investors and companies to expand their health services into the rural areas of the country.
