Telemedicine Vietnam 2026 — foreign-firm rules

Telemedicine is no longer an exception scheme. From 1 January 2024, Law 15/2023/QH15 codifies it as a regulated form of medical practice; Decree 96/2023/ND-CP and Circular 32/2023/TT-BYT pin the operational conditions; Decision 2628/QD-BYT remains the operational backbone of the inter-facility network; and a data / cybersecurity overlay — Decree 13/2023/ND-CP, Law on Electronic Transactions 2023, Decree 53/2022/ND-CP, Personal Data Protection Law 2025 — applies on top. For a foreign company, the entry path is constrained at three layers: the WTO schedule and Law on Investment 2020 (corporate vehicle), the practising licence and language rule for the doctor, and the data-localisation and consent regime (Decree 13/2023, Personal Data Protection Law). A synthesis of the law text on the Government Portal and ThuVienPhapLuat, the implementing decree and circular, the 2020 telehealth project decision, and analytical coverage from kcb.vn, xaydungchinhsach.chinhphu.vn and LuatVietnam.

A synthesis read against Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2023 (Law 15/2023/QH15), Decree 96/2023/ND-CP, and the National Medical Licensing Exam phasing in from 1 January 2027.

Vietnam medical practice conditions 2024–2026

From 1 January 2024, the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment No. 15/2023/QH15 replaced the 2009 law and rewrote the architecture of medical practice. Decree 96/2023/ND-CP and Circular 32/2023/TT-BYT detailed the new conditions for both individual practitioners and establishments. From 1 January 2025 the three-tier system (initial / basic / specialised) replaced the old four-tier scheme, and from 1 July 2026 Resolution 21/2026/NQ-CP delegates practising licence authority from the Ministry of Health to the chairpersons of provincial People's Committees. A synthesis of the law text on the Government Portal and ThuVienPhapLuat, the implementing decree and circular, the delegation resolution, and analysis from kcb.vn, xaydungchinhsach.chinhphu.vn and LuatVietnam.
