By Isabelle Ly| Fortune Asia | October 2025

In the heart of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is rapidly transforming its healthcare and life sciences sectors—driven by a wave of bold leaders, healthtech disruptors, and forward-thinking policy influencers. While an official list of "Top Voices" is yet to be formalized, certain individuals and organizations are undeniably shaping the country's healthcare future—one innovation at a time.

Among them, Dr. Tran Quoc Bao stands out as a symbol of modern healthcare leadership in Vietnam. Recognized among Asia’s top hospital CEOs, Dr. Bao is known for his commitment to clinical excellence, digital transformation, and visionary hospital management. His work has inspired a generation of healthcare professionals to think beyond the status quo and build systems that are tech-enabled, patient-focused, and globally competitive.

The Rising Titans of Healthtech

Vietnam’s rapid healthcare evolution is fueled not only by institutional reform, but also by private-sector innovation. Startups like BuyMed (thuocsi.vn) are leveraging e-commerce and digital logistics to modernize pharmaceutical supply chains—making healthcare products more accessible, transparent, and affordable for clinics and pharmacies across the country.

Meanwhile, software powerhouses like TMA Solutions are bringing the power of big data into hospitals and research centers, offering platforms that help manage everything from patient records to predictive diagnostics. In a system where efficiency and accuracy can be life-saving, these tools are becoming indispensable.

Then there’s Rikkeisoft, an emerging leader in applied AI for healthcare. Their solutions—ranging from automated diagnostics to hospital workflow optimization—are pushing Vietnam’s medical institutions to think bigger, move faster, and operate smarter.

Institutions Behind the Momentum

Beyond individual leaders and startups, key organizations are laying the groundwork for sustainable transformation.

The AmCham Healthcare Committee plays a strategic role in shaping healthcare policy by fostering public-private dialogue, advocating for patient access, and pushing for regulatory reform. Its influence can be seen in Vietnam’s gradual shift toward more transparent, innovation-friendly healthcare policies.

Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) Vietnam office continues to be a major force in health systems strengthening. Its focus on cost control, system monitoring, and public health strategy ensures that Vietnam’s healthcare growth remains aligned with international standards.
