This episode delves into the critical process of changing a medical device registration holder in Vietnam. We clarify a common misconception: a direct license transfer between holders is not permitted by the Ministry of Health. Instead, manufacturers must navigate a full re-registration process. We outline the steps involved and highlight the significant strategic advantages of appointing an independent registration holder to maintain control and flexibility over your market access.

Key Questions:
