Legal framework and structuring options for foreign investors
Vietnam’s healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors are entering a defining decade. Demand for high‑quality care is accelerating, driven by an ageing population, rising incomes and a government eager to modernise the system. This momentum has created a rare window for foreign investors: a market with strong fundamentals, increasing private‑sector participation and a steady pipeline of acquisition opportunities.

This Insight provides a practical overview of the key legal issues foreign investors should consider when entering these sectors in Vietnam.
