Regulatory Affairs is developed from the desire of governments to protect public health, by

The regulatory control of pharmaceutical products and traditional medicines in Malaysia is

carried out by the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau (NPCB), an institution under the
Pharmaceutical Services Division (PSD) Ministry of Health.

The introduction of these regulations was an important milestone in the history of drug regulatory
activities in Malaysia as it provides for the establishment of the Drug Control Authority (DCA) to
