has called on local units and companies to import or look
for and donation of internationally-made medical
equipment and SARS-CoV-2 testing kits.
The domestic units were also
encouraged to locally manufacture more medical devices and testing kits to meet
Vietnam’s increasing testing demand.
The ministry will verify
quality of the imported or donated testing kits to soon put them into use.
According to the Vietnamese Law
on Foreign Trade Management, imported products must have Certificate of Free
Sale (CFS) showing the products are approved for sale.
However, the ministry said most
of the virus testing kits have certificates of use in the manufacturing country
in emergency cases only, but do not have sale certificates in that country.
Companies are allowed to import
samples of medical device and testing kits which have CFS in other countries.
After they are tested by the Ministry
of Health, it will issue legal import documents and allow imports in large
quantity.
Kits manufactured by domestic
companies will also be tested by the ministry./.
