The Pharmacy and Medicines Regulatory Authority was on Monday at Sunbird Nkopola in Mangochi participating at the Leadership Summit on aligning the Agriculture, Tourism and Mining (ATM) Strategy towards Malawi 2063.

The Authority’s mission of safeguarding the health of the population of Malawi through assurance of the quality, safety and efficacy of medicines and allied substances; and enforcement of standards for the pharmacy practice, is in line with Enabler 5: Human Capital Development of the Malawi 2063 which aims at ensuring universal health coverage with quality, available, equitable and affordable health care for all Malawians.

PMRA’s strides aimed at ensuring quality, safe and efficacious medicines including product quality assessment, quality control testing, post-market quality and safety surveillance are in sync with the 5-year Quick Wins priority intervention areas of the First 10-Year Implementation Plan (MIP-1) of the Malawi 2063 which, among others, seek to ensure efficient drug supply chain management through monitoring of quality of medicines and medical supplies in the country.
