African Medical Devices Regulatory Harmonization Program

The African Medical Devices Regulatory Harmonization Program is designed to unify standards and guidelines across Africa in the medical device industry. Its main aim is to stimulate innovation and development, ensuring the availability of high-quality, safe medical devices throughout the continent. This is achieved by encouraging coordinated efforts to regulate these devices, promoting standardized practices for oversight and preventing the utilization or export of inferior products. These measures are crucial in reducing health risks and unnecessary healthcare spending associated with the use of substandard products.
