Vietnam dismisses Deputy Health Minister Tran Van Thuan
Vietnam has officially dismissed Deputy Minister of Health and Chairman of the National Medical Council, Tran Van Thuan, from his position. The administrative disciplinary action was formalized via Decision 2110/QD-TTg, signed by Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc on November 5, 2026.
The dismissal follows a prior decision by the Secretariat on September 22, 2026, which expelled Thuan from the Communist Party. The party leadership cited political and moral degradation, as well as violations of Party regulations and state laws regarding the performance of duties, anti-corruption, waste prevention, and negative practices.
Thuan, who previously served as the Director of K Hospital, was also detained by the Ministry of Public Security. He is accused of receiving bribes in connection with a case involving the Vietnam Medical Investment Joint Stock Company.
