The plan aims to enhance the effectiveness of state management in these sectors, strengthen inspection and supervision capacity, and improve post-check mechanisms for producers and traders.

It seeks to ensure that citizens have access to safe, high-quality medicines, cosmetics, and health supplements with clear origins.
The program will apply in 2025 to producers and traders of medicines, cosmetics, and health supplements.
It also covers organizations and individuals engaged in e-commerce or using digital applications to market and sell these products, as well as transport services suspected of carrying smuggled, banned, counterfeit, or untraceable goods.
Warehouses, logistics hubs, delivery providers, and advertising organizations, as well as individuals, will also be subject to inspection.
Implementation content
In terms of direction and management, the city will issue instructions to departments, districts, and communes by September 30, 2025. Local authorities must prepare their own plans, allocate resources, strengthen coordination among stakeholders, and promote the supervisory role of consumers.
For surveys and evaluation, authorities will compile a list of production and business establishments, assess facilities, equipment, human resources, storage, transport, and product origin.
They will conduct random sampling, inspections, and testing in accordance with regulations to detect risks of trade fraud.
For communication, awareness will be raised through conferences, workshops, online portals, media outlets, grassroots information channels, social networks, and other forms. The program's objectives, progress, and results will be shared, along with reports on violations.
For inspection and supervision, surprise checks will be carried out both onsite and online to monitor compliance with laws and business conditions. Authorities will review invoices, documents, and product origins, as well as storage facilities, logistics providers, and advertising and media activities.
For violations and transparency, strict penalties will be imposed in accordance with the law. Results of inspections, violations, and corrective actions will be made public through mass media and the city's online portals.
The municipal People's Committee has assigned the Department of Health as the lead agency. It will develop criteria, templates, and inspection procedures consistent with laws on medicines, cosmetics, and health supplements.
The department will provide information on approved advertisements to support inspections, monitor product quality on the market, and organize training to strengthen the capacity of officials, businesses, small traders, and health workers.
The municipal People's Committee has requested the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi, political and social organizations, departments, agencies, and local authorities to coordinate implementation.
Reports on progress and results must be submitted quarterly before the 10th day of the following quarter.
The city requires that all inspections comply with the law, remain transparent, objective, and public, and not obstruct the legitimate business activities of organizations and individuals.
Coordination across agencies and levels must be strengthened to ensure consistency. Violations will be handled strictly with no exceptions. Complex cases showing signs of criminal activity must be promptly transferred to the police for investigation and prosecution in accordance with the law.
