Biologics Control Authority (South Africa)

The Biologics Control Authority in South Africa is a government body responsible for regulating biological medicines, such as vaccines, blood products, and gene therapies. Its role is to ensure these products are safe, effective, and of high quality before they reach patients. The authority reviews manufacturing processes, inspects facilities, and monitors products after approval. This oversight helps protect public health by ensuring that biologic medicines meet strict standards and are used appropriately within the healthcare system.
