Togo establishes autonomous agency to regulate medicines and health products
The Togolese government has established an autonomous national agency to regulate and monitor medicines and other health products, as part of efforts to strengthen pharmaceutical safety. The decision was made amidst concerns about the expansion of the pharmaceutical market and the growing number of actors within the supply and distribution chain.
The new agency will be tasked with regulating, supervising, and monitoring the pharmaceutical sector, as well as improving product-quality checks, pharmaceutical inspections, market surveillance, and mechanisms for identifying and responding to adverse effects associated with medicines.
