Overview
Strong regulatory systems for medical products are a critical element of well-functioning health systems and important contributors to improving access, and ultimately achieving universal health coverage. The objectives of WHO in the area of regulatory system strengthening are to:
- build regulatory capacity in Member States consistent with good regulatory practices;
