Ministry of Health revokes four Pharmacy Business Eligibility Certificates at the companies' request (28 Oct – 5 Nov 2026)

Between 28 October and 5 November 2026, the Ministry of Health issued four decisions revoking the Pharmacy Business Eligibility Certificates of four companies that import, export or store drugs. All four were revoked at the companies' own request: two companies ended their pharmaceutical business at a specific site, and two changed their business plans. None of the decisions cites a violation.

The four decisions at a glance

• Decision 3304/QD-BYT (28 October 2026): CPC1 Central Pharmaceutical JSC – Ho Chi Minh City Branch, certificate No. 1033/DKKDD-BYT. Scope: export and import of drugs and drug materials, and storage services for drugs and drug materials.

• Decision 3410/QD-BYT (5 November 2026): Cuu Ton Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., certificate No. 1007/DKKDD-BYT. Scope: export and import of drugs and drug materials.

What affected companies should do

The decisions give no guidance for business partners. The points below are editorial recommendations:

• Check supplier, importer-of-record and storage-provider lists against the four certificate numbers above.
• Manufacturers and marketing authorisation holders, including foreign companies, that use any of these companies as importer: confirm a replacement importer and update your dossiers.
• Customers of storage services at Tan Tao (CPC1) or Duc Giang (Hoa Duoc Viet Nam): contact the company about goods in storage, which the decisions do not address.
• For anything the decisions do not cover, ask the Drug Administration of Vietnam or the provincial Department of Health before continuing to trade.
