• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, for medicines, the market authorisation holder of medicine is responsible for the documentation. On the other hand, the authorisation in terms of food is multi-sectoral and multi- institutional and I will be able to enlist some of these institutions if given the opportunity.
