FPT Long Chau and top private healthcare provider IHH Healthcare Singapore signed a cooperation agreement on January 29 to enhance the quality of high-tech medical treatment available in Vietnam.

The collaboration will see the debut of a wide range of treatment and specialised medical activities, along with the application of advanced medical methods and techniques from a team of experts.

Through long-term investment in Vietnam, the plan aims to leverage specific phases, ranging from joint ventures to expand outpatient treatment services, to focusing on helping patients access high-quality healthcare services at affordable costs.

IHH Healthcare Singapore is a major healthcare group in Asia, managing reputable and highly trusted healthcare brands like Gleneagles, Mount Elizabeth, and Parkway.

With a long and well-established track record of medical expertise and clinical outcomes, its hospitals have a profound understanding of Asian patients, especially in oncology.

Meanwhile, FPT Long Chau, a subsidiary of FPT Digital Retail JSC and a member of tech giant FPT Group, has established its position by retailing prescription drugs, including oncology treatment drugs.

At the signing ceremony, FPT Long Chau officially announced its expansion into the Vietnamese healthcare ecosystem.

More than just a pharmaceutical retail chain serving medical needs, FPT Long Chau is gradually building a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem by establishing the Long Chau Vaccination System for disease prevention.

This event marks another important turning point for Long Chau as it forays into developing new business models for medical examination and treatment, particularly for fatal diseases such as oncology.

“This is an important milestone for the improvement of medical treatment in Vietnam. We are building a healthcare ecosystem step by step, not just a pharmacy chain, but also creating a balance between basic healthcare and long-term care,” said Nguyen Bach Diep, chairwoman of the Board of Directors at FPT Retail and general director of FPT Long Chau.

“Building a healthcare ecosystem is not only an investment in individual health but also an important step towards the sustainable development of society,” Diep noted.

Peter Chow, acting CEO of IHH Singapore, said, “IHH Healthcare and its many healthcare brands have been contributing to the international healthcare industry for decades, with a mission to take exemplary care of our patients by consistently raising the bar in clinical, operational, and service excellence.”

“We appreciate the achievements FPT Long Chau has made as a top pharmaceutical retailer in Vietnam and are honoured to help build a more robust healthcare ecosystem. This cooperation is not just about sharing expertise and advanced treatment techniques, but also about creating a comprehensive healthcare environment that can improve the lives of the Vietnamese people.”

FPT Long Chau is dedicated to providing practical healthcare services that meet the needs of the community.

Starting from June 2023, FPT Long Chau began offering vaccination services at reasonable prices to protect and maintain public health.
