Health Regulatory Bodies

Health regulatory bodies are organizations responsible for overseeing and maintaining the quality and safety of healthcare services, medical professionals, and medical products. They set standards, issue licenses, conduct inspections, and take action against misconduct or unsafe practices. Their goal is to protect public health by ensuring that hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices meet specific safety and quality criteria. Examples include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the General Medical Council, which help ensure that healthcare delivery is effective, safe, and trustworthy for everyone.
