Bayer, Pharmacity partner with VINAFPA on reproductive health education
The Vietnam Family Planning Association, Bayer Vietnam and Pharmacity will implement communication and education programs to raise awareness on reproductive health and family planning from 2026 to 2030, with a primary focus on women, adolescents, and underserved communities.
On August 24, VINAFPA, Bayer Vietnam, and Pharmacity inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on reproductive health education and family planning programs in Vietnam. The partnership aims to run these initiatives from 2026 to 2030, combining VINAFPA's nationwide expertise in reproductive health, Bayer Vietnam's global scientific leadership in women's healthcare, and Pharmacity's extensive pharmacy and digital networks.
As Vietnam embraces digital transformation and population development, strengthening reproductive healthcare and fostering supportive ecosystems for healthy, happy, and sustainable families are now national priorities. Family planning education and modern contraceptive options can play a crucial role by empowering couples to make informed decisions about parenthood, avoid unintended pregnancies, minimize related health risks, and determine the timing and spacing of pregnancies, ultimately benefiting mothers, children, and families.
Dinh Huy Duong, Vice Chairman of VINAFPA, emphasized that the collaboration goes beyond a simple partnership among three organizations; it signifies a shared commitment to public health advancement, population quality improvement, and the development of healthy, happy, and sustainable families. The MoU envisions the three organizations jointly launching accessible, science-based educational programs tailored for community adoption, as well as expanding friendly and flexible counseling channels that cater to modern, dynamic lifestyles, ensuring the public, particularly adolescents and young adults, can easily access trustworthy reproductive health and family planning information.
Maximilian Rummert, General Director of Bayer Vietnam, stated that the partnership allows the organizations to expand science-based education and counseling initiatives that directly address real community needs, backed by trusted healthcare professionals. This initiative aligns with Bayer's global commitment to supporting women worldwide in accessing information and safe, modern family planning options.
Deepanshu Madan, General Director of Pharmacity, expressed optimism that the tripartite partnership will focus on practical activities that create lasting value for the community.
