Biocodex & Pharmacity Join Forces to Revolutionize Healthcare Access in Vietnam – Breaking News!
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – December 4, 2025 – A significant shift is underway in Vietnam’s healthcare landscape. Today, Biocodex Vietnam, a subsidiary of the renowned French pharmaceutical group Biocodex, and Pharmacity, Vietnam’s leading pharmacy chain, announced a landmark strategic cooperation agreement. This collaboration promises to dramatically increase access to high-quality, European-standard health products across the nation, responding to a rapidly evolving consumer demand for proactive and preventative healthcare.
Rising Demand for Premium Healthcare Fuels Partnership
Vietnamese consumers are no longer solely focused on treating illness; they’re actively investing in their overall well-being. A growing awareness of the importance of immune health, digestive wellness, and preventative care is driving demand for healthcare products with transparent sourcing, scientifically-backed efficacy, and adherence to international standards. This trend has created a fertile ground for European pharmaceutical companies, particularly those from France, known for their rigorous quality control and patient-centric approach.
“We’re seeing a real awakening in Vietnam,” explains David Fontana, General Manager of Biocodex Vietnam and Asia region. “People are understanding that health isn’t just the absence of disease, it’s a state of thriving. They want products they can trust, and they’re willing to invest in them.”
Biocodex & Pharmacity: A Powerful Synergy
The partnership between Biocodex and Pharmacity is designed to capitalize on this momentum. Pharmacity, with its expansive network of over 1,000 GPP-certified pharmacies spanning 42 provinces and cities, and a dedicated team of nearly 5,000 pharmacists, will become the primary distribution channel for Biocodex’s range of health products. This includes Biocodex’s flagship probiotic, containing the Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 strain – a probiotic with a fascinating history, originally discovered in Vietnam in 1923.
“As a market leader, we’re committed to more than just dispensing medication,” emphasizes Deepanshu Madan, Managing Director of Pharmacity Pharmacy. “We want to empower consumers with the knowledge and resources to take control of their health. This partnership allows us to strategically invest in nutrition awareness programs and promote sustainable lifestyles, ultimately improving public health outcomes.”
Beyond Treatment: Addressing Specific Health Needs
The collaboration isn’t just about broad wellness; it’s focused on addressing specific, prevalent health concerns within the Vietnamese population. Products will target areas like digestive support for children, immune system enhancement, women’s health tailored to their physiological cycles, and chronic pain management for the elderly. This specialized approach reflects a broader trend towards individualized healthcare, aligning Vietnam with global best practices.
A Legacy of Innovation & a Commitment to Vietnam
Biocodex, with over 70 years of experience in pharmaceutical innovation, established Biocodex Vietnam in 2025 as a strategic move to expand its presence in the Asian market. The company’s commitment extends beyond simply selling products; it aims to contribute to the modernization and standardization of Vietnam’s healthcare industry. This partnership with Pharmacity is a tangible demonstration of that commitment.
This strategic alliance isn’t just a business deal; it’s a signal of a changing tide in Vietnamese healthcare. By combining Biocodex’s scientific expertise and high-quality products with Pharmacity’s extensive reach and dedication to community health, this collaboration is poised to deliver significant benefits to the Vietnamese people, fostering a healthier and more proactive future for all.
