Australian Medicines and Medical Devices (AMMD)

The Australian Medicines and Medical Devices (AMMD) framework is a set of regulations and policies managed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to ensure the safety, quality, and effectiveness of medicines, medical devices, and related products in Australia. It governs the approval, manufacturing, and distribution of these products, making sure they meet strict standards before reaching consumers. The system also monitors products post-market for safety issues, facilitating timely actions if necessary. Overall, AMMD aims to protect public health by ensuring that all medical products available in Australia are safe and reliable.
