The JFDA has become an active member of the organization, of which 31 countries is part of, based on its achievements and implementation of the best scientific and technical practices and legislation in the field of medical supplies and devices, according to a statement on Thursday.
The JFDA Director-General Nizar Mheidat said the administration's membership will help develop local manufacturing of medical devices and supplies and enhance their quality to reach global markets by coordinating as much as possible with Asian countries and the world.
He said the move will enable the JFDA to exchange expertise, benefit from global experiences, and partake in decision-making and drafting legislation on classifying and recording medical devices and supplies through participating in technical workgroups that standardize requirements for medical devices and supplies before registration and following up on them post-marketing, in addition to dealing with feedback on side effects and technical issues.
As a member, the JFDA will partake, alongside member countries, in building a standardized regulatory system, reaching a unified audit system, adopting a unified report and information exchange system, communicating with the International Medical Device Regulators Forum, establishing a regional organization to enhance training and dialogue, and conducting joint projects between regulatory departments and manufacturers in Asia, Mheidat added.
