Vietnam medical & pharmacy universities: 2026 map
From the École de Médecine de l'Indochine founded in Hanoi in 1902 to the ~35+ accredited universities and academies operating today, Vietnam's medical and pharmaceutical training system now spans the historic flagships, regional public universities, the Vietnam Military Medical University and a growing cluster of private schools led by VinUniversity. 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.
