Good Pharmacy Practice

The quality standard for retail pharmacy operations in Vietnam — set by Circular 02/2018/TT-BYT, amended by Circular 12/2020/TT-BYT (partially repealed) and Circular 11/2025/TT-BYT (consolidated as Văn bản hợp nhất 11/VBHN-BYT, 2025). Covers facility layout and minimum floor area, temperature and humidity control, expired/recalled stock segregation, staff qualifications, patient-counselling SOPs, secure storage of special-control drugs, and — from 1 July 2025 — mandatory integration with the national e-prescription and drug-traceability system.
