Regulatory services in Armenia

The Scientific Centre of Drug and Medical Technology Expertise (SCDMTE) is responsible for the implementation of Armenian national drug policy to include the registration of medicines and medical devices and pharmacovigilance activities primarily in the form of drug safety monitoring.

Although progress is slow, the SCDMTE is actively involved with the World Health Organization, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and Healthcare. There is a clear desire to collaborate and harmonize policies where and when possible.
