Medicines regulation is needed to ensure that all pharmaceutical products on
the market are safe, effective and consistently meet approved quality
standards.
WHO works with Member States in assessing national regulatory systems to
identify gaps, develop strategies for improvement and support countries in
their commitment to build national regulatory capacity.
This report synthesizes the findings of rapid assessments performed at
national medicines regulatory authorities (NMRAs) in 26 African countries
over the last eight years. It is mainly based on the reports provided to the
countries by the assessment teams. Although the emphasis of the missions was
on capacity-building rather than a standardized comparison of indicators,
the findings are thought to give a reasonable overview of the regulatory
situation in Africa at the time of the visits.
