National Competent Authorities

National Competent Authorities (NCAs) are government agencies within each country responsible for overseeing and enforcing rules related to specific sectors, such as healthcare, finance, or transportation. They ensure compliance with laws, oversee safety and quality standards, and protect public interests. Essentially, NCAs act as the official bodies that regulate and supervise industries to maintain safety, fairness, and integrity within their jurisdiction. They work within their country's legal framework and often collaborate with other countries’ authorities to ensure consistent standards across borders.
