The World Health Organisation (WHO) has consistently highlighted the significance of medical equipment in diverse medical interventions, ranging from minor injuries like sprains to more intricate procedures such as HIV/AIDS testing and organ transplants. Medical equipment plays a pivotal role in patient care across numerous medical fields, encompassing specialized and grassroots medicine, primary healthcare, preventive measures, diagnostics, both acute and chronic treatment, palliative assistance, functional rehabilitation, and medical research. Consequently, medical equipment, along with medications and physicians, stands as one of the triad foundational elements in healthcare.
The EuroCham Medical Devices and Diagnostics Sector Committee (MDDSC) was established in May 2016, acting as the representative of the global medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics industry. For over seven years, its objective has been to proactively engage with government bodies, regulatory agencies, payers, healthcare providers, and other relevant stakeholders to champion optimal practices, maintain the utmost industry criteria, and participate in the formulation of healthcare policies in Vietnam. In essence, its aim has been to guarantee prompt availability of enduring, cutting-edge, and superior healthcare for every Vietnamese individual. Throughout its endeavors, it has been honored to forge robust alliances, notably with the Ministry of Health, on various initiatives that resonate with its shared mission.
