Global Learning Series.

Systems in LMICs

Registration Link:

Background
Before medicines and other medical products can reach markets, they must go
through a country's medicines registration system that can adequately
assess and validate their quality, safety, and efficacy and authorize them
for market entry. As experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the
registration systems must also be responsive to healthcare needs and
provide mechanisms for expedited review of medical products. However, low-
and middle-income countries (LMICs) face deep challenges in medicines
registration that undermine their market access to quality-assured
medicines.
Join the USAID MTaPS Global Learning Series webinar
from 9:00-10:30 am EST on Tuesday, April 13, 2021,
for insights into how we are working with countries to bolster their medicines registration function and support expedited registration in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hear from pharmaceutical regulatory authorities and leading experts and engage with implementers in four countries: Bangladesh, Mozambique, Nepal, and Rwanda.
