NMPA (National Medical Products Administration)

The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) is the Chinese government agency responsible for regulating medical products, including drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics. Its primary roles include ensuring the safety, effectiveness, and quality of these products before they can be sold in China. The NMPA also oversees clinical trials and monitors products post-marketing to protect public health. Similar to the FDA in the United States, the NMPA plays a crucial role in safeguarding consumers by setting standards and enforcing regulations in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
