Strengthening Medical Products Registration in the Asia Region

Many National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) in the Asia region struggle with inadequate regulatory systems and insufficient resources. As a result, NRAs may not be able to conduct essential regulatory functions, including market authorization, effectively and efficiently.  

This technical brief describes MTaPS’ approach to addressing regulatory gaps in these countries by 1) partnering with regional networks to enhance collaboration and 2) working with NRAs to improve regulatory capacity, streamline regulatory processes, and adopt international best practices for medical product registration and marketing authorization.
