Anvisa

Anvisa, or the National Health Surveillance Agency of Brazil, is a government organization responsible for protecting public health. It regulates and supervises the safety, quality, and efficacy of products like medications, vaccines, food, cosmetics, and medical devices. Anvisa sets standards, issues approvals, and ensures compliance to prevent health risks. Its role is similar to agencies in other countries that oversee public health and consumer safety, working to ensure that products used by the population are safe and effective.
