Buymed at UOB Asia Impact Investment Fund’s Investor Day: Pioneering Change in Vietnam’s Healthcare Sector
At Buymed, we’re committed to revolutionizing the pharmaceutical supply chain in Vietnam, creating a more efficient, transparent, and tech-driven ecosystem for healthcare providers and patients. Our participation in the UOB Asia Impact Investment Fund’s Investor Day was an incredible opportunity to showcase this mission to a distinguished audience of over 30 leading investors.
The event was not only a chance to highlight our progress but also a platform to discuss the broader challenges in Vietnam’s healthcare system and how innovative solutions like Buymed are driving impactful change.
Tackling the Challenges in Vietnam’s Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
The day began with a curated tour of Ho Chi Minh City’s pharmaceutical wholesale market—an integral part of Vietnam’s healthcare ecosystem but also a reflection of its challenges. The market, though vibrant, suffers from systemic inefficiencies, including:
- Fragmented supply chains: Pharmacies often face hurdles in sourcing medicines from reliable suppliers.
- Lack of transparency: Inconsistent pricing, quality assurance issues, and limited oversight make it difficult for healthcare providers to operate effectively.
- Operational inefficiencies: Manual processes dominate the supply chain, leading to delays, increased costs, and reduced accessibility.
While certain areas remained inaccessible due to restrictions, the visit provided a striking reminder of the urgent need for modernization and innovation.
