Vietnam Eyes USD 5 Billion Investment to Transform National Healthcare by 2035
The Vietnamese government has proposed a 10-year national target program on healthcare, population and development (2026–2035), with a total budget of ~125.5 trillion VND (about USD 5 billion) to upgrade public health infrastructure and expand access across the country.
Key objectives:
- Ensure universal access to quality primary health care, and enable all Vietnamese to manage their health proactively.
- Extend electronic health records and life-long health monitoring to 100 % of the population by 2030.
- Raise standards at local health stations: by 2030, 90 % of communes/wards are expected to meet national health-service standards; by 2035, this should rise to 95%.
- Strengthen prevention and management of non-communicable diseases at the grassroots level — a key step for better long-term health outcomes nationwide.
What this means for investors, businesses and society:
Vietnam isn’t just planning incremental improvements — it’s committing to a systemic upgrade of its national health infrastructure. A healthier population supports labor quality, productivity, and long-term economic growth. For investors and companies, this creates opportunities across healthcare services, health technology, telemedicine, preventive care, and wellness sectors.
Vietnam is preparing to build a more resilient, healthier society — and this healthcare drive could add a whole new dimension to the country’s long-term growth story.
