National competent authorities (NCAs) play a vital role in the health care system by providing regulatory oversight of all health medical products. Helping NCAs fulfil their mandate in an effective, efficient, predictable and transparent manner is therefore of critical importance in ensuring the quality, safety and efficacy of health products in an increasingly complex global environment. This session examines some of the key considerations and developments associated with building capacity and cooperative approaches to regulation, in line with the World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution 67.20 on regulatory system strengthening for medical products.
