I. Introduction

The predecessor was the library of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy of Can Tho University. Due to the Faculty Library finite size, the capital of documents and activities was still limited. In 2002, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy was officially established. On December 2010, the library officially moved to a new facility on the 2nd floor, building B2, Faculty of Medicine, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
