New Policies from July 1, 2026 Related to Medicine, Medicinal Herbs, and Traditional Medicine
According to the Government News Portal, the amended Law on Pharmacy emphasizes the goal of ensuring the supply of quality medicines at reasonable prices, while promoting safe and effective medicine use. Preferential policies in medicine procurement also mention herbal medicines and traditional medicines produced from domestic medicinal herbs that meet Good Agricultural and Collection Practices for medicinal plants.

For buyers of traditional medicinal herbs, the benefit is that the market will place greater importance on origin, growing areas, testing records, packaging, and usage instructions. When choosing herbs, medicinal ingredients, or wellness materials, customers should prioritize sellers that provide clear information and careful consultation.
GACP-Certified Medicinal Herbs Help Customers Feel More Secure
From July 1, 2026, the Ministry of Health authorizes provincial People’s Committees to carry out evaluations, maintenance evaluations, change evaluations, and supplementary evaluations for GACP-certified medicinal herbs. Provincial authorities will also be responsible for reissuing and revoking certificates for GACP-certified medicinal herbs under Circular 21/2026/TT-BYT. Source: Health & Life.
For herbal medicine stores, this policy encourages higher input standards. For customers, GACP helps make the origin, harvesting, and preliminary processing of medicinal herbs more transparent. Thanh Tam Herbs encourages customers to ask clearly about the name of each medicinal herb, its origin, storage instructions, and precautions when using medicine, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women or those with underlying health conditions.

Health Insurance Covers 50% for Certain Out-of-Network Visits: Benefits for Early Medical Care
According to the Government News Portal, from July 1, 2026, participants in Vietnam’s health insurance system who receive outpatient medical care outside their registered route at eligible provincial-level hospitals, basic-level facilities, or specialized facilities may have 50% of their costs covered by the Health Insurance Fund within the scope of their benefits.

The key benefit is that people have more opportunities to access suitable healthcare services. After receiving a diagnosis or prescription, customers can consult a doctor, pharmacist, or traditional medicine practitioner before using herbs, herbal teas, or traditional remedies. Medicinal herbs should not be used as a substitute for prescribed treatment without appropriate professional guidance.
Free Periodic Health Check-Ups: Shifting from Treatment to Prevention
The Government Policy Development Portal states that from 2026, people will be entitled to free periodic health check-ups at least once a year according to the policy roadmap. Source: Policy Development Portal.
This is an important change for older adults, people under work-related stress, and those at risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, or sleep disorders. With health check-up results, customers can choose more suitable health care products instead of buying based on word of mouth. In traditional medicine, the important principle is to use the right product for the right person, at the right time, in the right amount, and for the right supportive purpose.
