Regulation and Prequalification
Progress towards enhancing regulatory practices related to medical products around the world is supported by capacity building, promoting regulatory convergence and harmonization.

In order to strengthen the regulatory capacity for oversight of medical products globally, WHO encourages international cooperation among regulatory authorities in all its forms, including convergence, harmonization, information- and work-sharing, reliance and recognition.

The Regulatory Convergence and Network (RCN) Team supports Member States in all activities related to regulatory convergence, regional or international regulatory networks and harmonization initiatives.
