Statute overview

About this statute

Section 1 is amended to redefine “advertisement” for medicines and related products and to delete the definition of “advisory committee.” This provision updates key definitions in the medicines law, including advertisement, Board, IVD, medicine, medical device, and vigilance. Section 2 amends the Act’s heading and establishes the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority, which acts through its Board. This section inserts new sections into the principal Act after section 2, beginning with “Objects of Authority”. The Authority must carry out several regulatory functions for medicines, medical devices, IVDs, and clinical trials, and may cooperate with other regulators.
