This regulation is aimed at improving the quality and safety of medical devices in the country. The regulation was developed by the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) and is currently in the process of being finalized.

The regulation covers a wide range of topics related to medical device quality systems, including requirements for registration and licensing, manufacturing, labeling, testing, and post-market surveillance. It also outlines specific requirements for medical device manufacturers, including the need to establish a quality management system and to provide documentation of their processes. Additionally, the regulation requires manufacturers to provide evidence of their compliance with the regulations, such as through audits and inspections.
