Healthcare is a service industry, and its quality is determined in collaboration with the patients it serves. The long-term success of healthcare is, arguably, dependent on our system’s ability to appreciate the needs of every single patient as well as those of the entire population we care for. The purpose of this paper is to introduce management in the medical profession and administration in the Swedish healthcare system. Based on an overview of the current situation of the Vietnamese healthcare management system and some main points of recent reforms from Sweden, some lessons for improving the Vietnamese healthcare system also are proposed in the paper.
