WHO: 2 More African Countries Reached Maturity Level 3

The World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that Senegal had became the 7th country and Rwanda the 8th country to achieve the status of a stable, well-functioning regulatory authority for the regulation of medicines in Africa.


Both countries reached Maturity Level 3 (ML3) in WHO's global classification of national regulatory authorities. Maturity Level 3 indicates a stable, well-functioning, and integrated regulatory system. Maturity Level 4, the highest level, signifies an advanced regulatory system committed to ongoing improvement.

This designation follows formal benchmarking by WHO, marking significant progress toward regulatory system strengthening on the continent. Other countries at ML3 in Africa are Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
