Pharmaceutical chain FPT Long Chau signed an MoU on January 29 establishing a strategic partnership with IHH Healthcare Singapore, a leading private healthcare provider in Singapore and operator of various healthcare brands in the region. The partnership aims to bring advanced medicine and more comprehensive healthcare closer to the Vietnamese people.

These goals will be accomplished by both sides through the incorporation of new techniques and technologies. This process also involves research and development (R&D) conducted by a leading team of specialized doctors in Asia, aimed at benefiting the people of Vietnam.

Concurrently, at the signing ceremony, FPT Long Chau officially announced its expansion into the healthcare ecosystem for the Vietnamese people. Beyond being a pharmaceutical retail chain catering to medicinal needs, FPT Long Chau is gradually building a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem by establishing the Long Chau Vaccination System to address preventive healthcare.

The partnership marks a significant turning point for Long Chau as it progressively develops new business models, providing comprehensive services for both prevention and treatment needs, especially for challenging diseases that require advanced medical techniques such as cancer.

“This is an important milestone to open up prospects in contributing to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment in Vietnam,” Ms. Nguyen Bach Diep, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of FPT Retail and General Director of FPT Long Chau, said at the ceremony.

“We are gradually building a healthcare ecosystem, not just a pharmacy chain but also serving the people, from disease prevention to treatment, creating a balance between basic healthcare and long-term care,” she went on. “Building a healthcare ecosystem is not only an investment in individual health but also an important step towards the sustainable development of society.”

“This strategic cooperation between Long Chau and IHH is not just about sharing expertise and advanced treatment techniques but also about creating a comprehensive healthcare environment that will improve the lives of the people of Vietnam,” said Dr. Peter Chow, Acting CEO of IHH Singapore. “We appreciate the achievements FPT Long Chau has made as a leading pharmaceutical retailer in Vietnam, and are honored to be part of this partnership to build a more robust healthcare ecosystem.”
