“Long Châu Partners with OMRON to Support the Health of Millions of Vietnamese Families”

This partnership marks an important milestone, ushering in a comprehensive collaboration phase to bring modern, accurate, and reliable healthcare solutions to families. The solution suite includes a range of home healthcare medical devices for all family members, supporting the screening and early detection of cardiovascular risks, reducing stroke risks, and ultimately enhancing the quality of life and protecting the sustainable health of the Vietnamese community.

According to Vietnam’s Ministry of Health, approximately 200,000 people die from cardiovascular disease annually, accounting for 33% of all deaths. These cardiovascular diseases are mainly associated with risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. About 80% of early deaths from heart disease and stroke can be prevented with early detection and timely intervention. Therefore, home health monitoring using authentic, highly accurate medical devices is considered a safe solution to protect health, reduce risks, and improve the quality of life for the community.

During their visit to Vietnam, Ms. Okada, President and CEO of OMRON Healthcare Co., Ltd., Ms. Kuriyama, Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of the Product Strategy Division, Mr. Masanori Matsubara, Executive Director of OMRON Asia-Pacific, and Mr. Joe Huang, General Director of OMRON Healthcare Vietnam, met with Ms. Nguyen Bach Diep, Chairman of FPT Retail and General Director of Long Chau Pharmacy and Vaccination System.

Embarking on a mission of “For a healthier Vietnam,” Long Chau relentlessly strives to expand its service capabilities to provide comprehensive and trustworthy healthcare solutions to the community. Long Chau currently owns over 2,222 pharmacies nationwide, along with a team of 20,000 professional pharmacists dedicatedly serving more than 33 million customers, equivalent to nearly a third of the country’s population. This solid foundation enables Long Chau to continuously expand its comprehensive healthcare services for the community. Meanwhile, OMRON, a leading Japanese medical equipment brand, has solidified its global position in the field of home health monitoring and care. With hundreds of millions of products trusted in over 130 countries, OMRON stands out with its blood pressure monitors, nebulizers, pain relief therapy devices, and authentic, safe, and precise health monitoring equipment.

The strategic cooperation elevation between Long Chau and OMRON signifies a new development in their previously established relationship and expands the scope of collaboration to create a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem. Here, individuals can access treatments, monitoring devices, and disease prevention tools at Long Chau pharmacies. Notably, the combination of OMRON’s internationally produced products, rigorously vetted by competent health authorities, and professional consultations from Long Chau’s pharmacist team will ensure safer and more effective use of medical equipment.

Long Chau and OMRON bring modern and authentic medical equipment closer to the Vietnamese community.

One of the key focuses of this collaboration is to raise community awareness about using authentic medical devices. In reality, using medical equipment of unknown origin poses various risks, from inaccurate vital signs leading to misdiagnosis and mistreatment to overlooking critical health indicators.

Representing OMRON, Ms. Okada, President and CEO of OMRON Healthcare, stated, “OMRON remains steadfast in its mission to enable every family to access modern healthcare solutions at home. We are proud to offer next-generation medical devices that support daily health monitoring and early detection of potential risks, especially cardiovascular diseases, which are a significant concern for the community today.”

“With the partnership of Long Chau’s extensive network of 2,222 pharmacies, we believe OMRON’s advanced medical technology will reach millions of Vietnamese families, empowering individuals to take charge of their health and that of their loved ones. This also demonstrates OMRON’s long-term commitment to a healthier, more sustainable, and happier Vietnam,” she added.

Long Chau and OMRON elevate their strategic cooperation, striving for a healthier Vietnam.

Ms. Nguyen Bach Diep, representing the Long Chau Pharmacy and Vaccination System, shared, “We firmly believe that every family deserves the safest products and services. The elevated strategic cooperation with OMRON reinforces Long Chau’s commitment to providing modern, accurate, and reliable healthcare solutions to millions of Vietnamese people. Thus, Long Chau remains steadfast in its mission of ‘For a healthier Vietnam,’ where customers not only find safe medicines and healthcare services but also have access to trustworthy home healthcare solutions.”

Long Chau has already distributed OMRON’s complete family healthcare equipment range, including essential products such as the OMRON HEM-7530T blood pressure monitor, which helps users easily monitor their blood pressure and provides stroke risk alerts with high accuracy. The OMRON nebulizer is also crucial for respiratory care, effectively managing chronic conditions like asthma and bronchitis and benefiting children and the elderly. With these offerings, Long Chau reinforces its leadership not only in pharmaceuticals but also in pioneering the supply of authentic medical devices, delivering comprehensive healthcare solutions to the community.

The collaboration between Long Chau and OMRON goes beyond bringing authentic medical equipment closer to consumers. It aims to empower every family to take charge of their health, prevent risks, and build a foundation for a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. This long-term initiative aims to raise health awareness at the individual level, spreading community-wide to contribute to a healthier Vietnam.
