International Conference on Mergers and Acquisitions in Healthcare Industry 2025
The event was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Finance, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), along with leading experts, financial institutions and prestigious domestic and international investors. This is an important forum, creating a bridge to promote multilateral cooperation, seek investment opportunities, and open up sustainable development directions for the Vietnamese healthcare sector.
In the context of the strong development of the global and regional healthcare market, M&A activities in healthcare are increasingly vibrant to help businesses expand their scale, improve operational efficiency, innovate technology and expand their service network.
Vietnam is considered a potential market for M&A deals thanks to its rapidly developing private healthcare system, increasing demand for high-quality healthcare services, and increasingly open government policies that encourage foreign investment in the healthcare sector.
In addition, the trend of globalization and international integration is promoting a strong transformation of the healthcare sector towards personalization, digitalization and data-based. Strengthening international cooperation not only brings valuable resources and experience to healthcare, but also helps Vietnamese healthcare quickly access advanced techniques, improve professional qualifications and approach international standards.

However, the development of M&A activities in the healthcare sector in Vietnam is also facing many challenges as the legal corridor for M&A is not yet complete, administrative procedures are still complicated; Regulations on corporate governance and asset valuation in the healthcare sector are not yet synchronized, causing many difficulties for M&A deals.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Dang Duc Nhu: “M&A appraisal in the healthcare industry is much more complicated than in other industries, related to practice licenses, professional operating licenses, fire prevention and fighting, environment, senior personnel, good doctors, drug lists, equipment and health insurance regulations.”
In that context, the International Conference on Mergers and Acquisitions in Healthcare 2025 was organized to create an open dialogue forum between management agencies and businesses. The event aims to remove difficulties, improve the legal framework and promote a transparent and favorable investment environment.
This is also an opportunity for domestic and foreign businesses, investors and organizations to meet, share information and establish cooperation, contributing to the formation of an M&A connection community in the healthcare sector.
Held for the first time on an international scale, the conference also affirmed Medicallaw’s pioneering role in providing in-depth legal advice for the healthcare industry. The event is part of Medicallaw’s strategy to position itself as a leading unit in M&A consulting, business establishment and IPO in the healthcare sector in Vietnam.
Within the framework of the conference, Medicallaw signed many memorandums of understanding on cooperation.
