Ensuring the safety of food and the quality and safety of medicines
in a country is an important role of government, made more
complicated by global manufacturing and international trade. By
recent estimates, unsafe food kills over 400,000 people a year, a
third of them children under 5, mostly in low- and middle-income
countries; every year poor quality medicines cause about 70,000
excess deaths from childhood pneumonia and roughly 8,500 to 20,000
malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa alone. The Federal Drug
Administration (FDA) Office of Global Policy and Strategy is
charged with improving capacity of the agency's foreign counterpart
offices and increasing understanding of the importance of
regulatory systems for public health, development, and trade. At
the request of the FDA, this study sets out a strategy to support
good quality, wholesome food and safe, effective medical products
around the world. Its goal is to build on the momentum for
strengthening regulatory systems and to set a course for
sustainability and continued progress. The 2012 report Ensuring
Safe Food and Medical Products Through Stronger Regulatory Systems
Abroad outlined strategies to secure international supply chains,
emphasized capacity building and support for surveillance in low-
and middle-income countries, and explored ways to facilitate work
sharing among food and medical product regulatory agencies. This
new study assess progress made and the current regulatory
landscape. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Introduction 2
