Download Celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Drug Administration of Vietnam, Ministry of Health - Photo: Chinhphu.vn/HHChallenges of the pharmaceutical industry The Minister also frankly acknowledged that Vietnams pharmaceutical industry still has many difficulties and challenges. The capacity to research and develop new drugs and medicinal ingredients is limited; Domestic production still depends significantly on raw materials, technology and some imported products; The ability to deeply participate in the global pharmaceutical value chain is not commensurate with the potential. Meanwhile, world science, technology and medicine are developing very quickly. Biotechnology, artificial intelligence, big data, precision medicine and advanced treatment methods are creating fundamental changes in research, production, circulation and use of drugs. Human resources in the field of clinical pharmacy and drug quality management are lacking, and the capacity to research and develop new drugs and medicinal materials is limited. The pharmaceutical chemistry industry has not been developed as required, the scale of enterprises is still small, and competitiveness is low. The ability to deeply participate in the global pharmaceutical value chain is not commensurate with the potential... In the context of rapid development of world science, technology and medicine (biotechnology, artificial intelligence, big data, precision medicine...), the Commander of the Health sector requested the Drug Administration to focus on implementing 6 key tasks.

Third, promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry according to the National Strategy for developing Vietnams pharmaceutical industry to 2030, vision to 2045. In particular, support businesses to research and receive technology transfer to produce modern dosage forms, specialized drugs, rare drugs, and biological drugs. Strengthen drug quality management through promoting post-inspection and pharmacovigilance. Prevent counterfeit drugs, poor quality drugs, and drugs of unknown origin. Strictly manage drug prices, vaccines and drug advertising, focusing on peoples health. Fifth, digitize the national drug distribution management system to ensure transparency. Build a shared data system, capable of connecting and sharing. Sixth, train a team of pharmaceutical managers with strong political qualities, good ethics and deep professional qualifications. After 30 years, the requirement for the pharmaceutical industry is to expand production, master raw materials, technology, research and development, biological drugs, high-tech drugs and data - the foundation for autonomy and ensuring pharmaceutical security.
