This Decree approves the amended statutes of the Beninese pharmaceutical regulatory agency, now named “Beninese Agency for Medicines and other Health Products”.
The objective of the law is to establish an institutional framework for regulating the pharmaceutical sector to ensure market approval and use of pharmaceutical products that are accessible, safe, efficient, and of appropriate quality (art.2). It notably establishes the Authority for pharmaceutical regulation (Autorité Ivoirienne de Regulation Pharmaceutique - AIRP) and addresses its mandates (chapter 1).
