Regulations eased for drugs and medical devices
Print Edition
CHINA will allow use of some drugs and medical devices based on approval by foreign regulators, the government said yesterday. The step was one of a series announced by Chinese drug regulators to improve access to treatments and streamline the approval process.
Regulators want to improve access to “urgently needed drugs and medical devices,” the China Food and Drug Administration said. “Regarding drugs and medical devices that already are approved to go on the market abroad, they will be allowed on the market with conditions attached,” the agency said.
Suppliers of drugs and devices such as X-ray machines have long looked at China as a promising market but complain that a cumbersome approval process hampers market access.
The administration also said yesterday that it would streamline the process for approving generic drugs.
