Vietnam to establish warehouses for orphan drugs

May 29, 2023 by hanoitimes.vn Leave a Comment

Vietnam’s legal framework for orphan drugs is in place to enable hospitals to have storage plans.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) has been working on a plan to set up centers to store orphan drugs in line with the Vietnamese Government’s directive, according to Le Viet Dung, Deputy Director of the Drug Administration of Vietnam (DAV).

Dung said when sharing measures to overcome the shortage of orphan drugs and the lack of botulinum antidote that some warehouses for these drugs will be set up across the country.

“There will be 15-20 medicines to be stockpiled, including botulinum antitoxins. The DAV has been working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to study its storage mechanism, liaise with regional countries on storing limited supply drugs, and with WHO storage facilities,” Dung said.

He stressed that the legal framework for rare drugs is in place, and the DAV is asking hospitals nationwide to make plans for such drugs, especially orphan drugs.

Referring to cases of botulism poisoning recorded in Ho Chi Minh City last week, Dung said the Ministry of Health had helped hospitals treating botulism patients to contact foreign suppliers and the WHO for the antidotes after being informed that botulism antitoxins were out of stock nationwide.

The WHO then announced that only six vials remained in its warehouse in Switzerland, which had been shipped to Vietnam on May 2.

Then, the Vietnamese Ministry of Health proposed setting up storage centers for rare drugs and establishing a mechanism for expired rare drugs.

Regarding recommendations to prevent botulinum poisoning cases, the MoH has advised people to avoid consuming expired food.

In addition, the Ministry of Health pointed out that manufacturers must use safe ingredients in production and processing and strictly follow hygiene rules in the production process. In particular, canned food manufacturers must strictly adhere to the sterilization regime.

Consumers should refrain from consuming canned foods that are expired, improperly canned, preserved, or have strange flavors or colors, and should use foods and ingredients of clear origin and freshly cooked foods .

Washington (VNA) – Vietnam is ready to coordinate with other CPTPP member countries in implementing the 2023 rotating chair New Zealand’s initiatives on elevating the deal as a model one of the region and the world, affirmed Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien .

Dien made his remarks while attending the recent ministerial meeting among members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership ( CPTPP ) in Detroit, Michigan, the US. Participating countries agreed that it is necessary to continue promoting the effective implementation of the agreement to bring full and practical benefits to people and enterprises, particularly small- and medium-sized ones.

While in Detroit, Dien also attended a meeting of ministers from ASEAN nations joining the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) and the IPEF ministerial meeting.

At these meetings, Dien stated Vietnam will continue to work closely with other IPEF countries, including those from ASEAN to complete basic negotiations of the initiative this year. For the IPEF’s Pillar III of Clean Economy, Vietnam wishes to see more cooperation activities among the ASEAN partners in clean energy production, and the development and transfer of technologies and solutions serving the elimination of greenhouse gases, among others, serving the energy transition of each country.

Lauding efforts by partner nations so far, the minister affirmed Vietnam always supports and is ready for discussion to contribute to the building of practical content suitable to each member’s development conditions.

He also called on participating countries to continue upholding the principles agreed upon from the beginning of negotiations.

On the occasion, the Vietnamese minister met with US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and Japanese State Minister for Foreign Affairs Yamada Kenji.

Raimondo told Dien that the US is ready to work with Vietnam to discuss some necessary flexible options to ensure that countries respect Vietnam’s legal system and work together on such a basis.

Dien affirmed that Vietnam will work closely with the US and other countries to ensure the overall success of the IPEF. He voice support for the US view of fair commerce, which does not discriminate, cause burden or restrict trade, or harm production and workers. Vietnam commits to continue to actively cooperate with the US to comprehensively address concerns of both nations, thereby maintaining their stable commercial relations, towards a harmonious, sustainable and mutually beneficial trade balance, the minister stated.

Meeting with Yamada, Dien welcomed the three ODA projects worth 61 billion JPY (434.2 million USD) freshly signed between Vietnam and Japan on the sidelines of the 49th G7 summit in Hiroshima. He said room remains extensive for the sides to work together in the fields of energy, food processing, support industries, and material technology.

The Vietnamese Government is committed to ensuring an open and stable business climate for enterprises of the two countries to operate and succeed in Vietnam, he said./.

Unilever Vietnam has been recognised as an Industry 4.0 Enterprise at the “Industrie 4.0 Awards” appreciation programme organised by the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations.

Unilever Vietnam was awarded in the category of “Top Industry 4.0 Enterprises” thanks to successful, future-fit digital transformation projects in building smart factories and supply chain management.

Pham Manh Tri, Supply Chain Vice President at Unilever Vietnam said: “From the perspective of a consumer goods business with millions of Vietnamese consumers, digital transformation not only helps Unilever fuel most of our activities, underpin our production capacity and position enhancement, but also allows us to efficiently approach our consumers and develop future-fit manpower to align with future trends. Being recognised at the Industrie 4.0 Awards is a great privilege for Unilever and our supply chain. This also motivates us to continue to thrive stronger in the journey of digitisation, reach the goal of smart factories and supply chain, and contribute to the National Digital Transformation Programme by the Prime Minister.”

The digitalisation journey of Unilever Vietnam started in 2019 with the vision of becoming a leading consumer goods company. In particular, the business set out a range of specific and committed goals, roadmaps and action plans for the process of digitally transforming the production and distribution chain.

The business has realised the goal of digitising the entire production and supply chain. The Internet of Things (IoT) system, artificial intelligence (AI) and super applications help connect all activities on the same platform, thereby facilitating a 10-fold rise in the speed of operations of the whole supply chain, and accurately and efficiently processing a significantly increasing volume of data and work.

As an important bridge between the business plan and the final product delivered to end consumers, Unilever’s factories are driving not only automation for production lines but also the Smart Factory and Robotics models.

Additionally, the company is moving towards a Real-time Operation model to be able to immediately respond to the needs of consumers and the market. This is considered an important destination of the supply chain that consumer goods companies around the world are aiming for.

To achieve those ambitious goals, Unilever Vietnam has actively invested in talent development, providing intensive training, and implementing key projects. Viet Nam is one of Unilever’s first markets to set up a dedicated digital transformation team, internally train more than 300 data analysts, and create a digital transformation movement across all departments.

The Industrie 4.0 Awards was organised to contribute to the implementation of the policy of proactively participating in the 4th Industrial Revolution, and the National Digital Transformation Programme to 2025, with orientation to 2030 of the Prime Minister. — VNS
