Russia. Unified supervisory body for control over pharmaceuticals and biologically active additives is to be created

The Healthcare Committee of the State Duma submitted a proposal on establishing a unified supervisory body which would control the public circulation of pharmaceuticals and biologically active additives.

The Committee believes that the concentration of the said functions may be done at the level of Roszdravnadzor, which currently already partially monitors medical activities and circulation of medical devices and drugs.

According to the experts, the new powers should enable the department to ensure the export of pharmaceuticals from Russia.
