[SINGAPORE] The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) on Thursday (Mar 12) announced deeper pacts with Malaysia and Uzbekistan, which are expected to contribute to the growth of Singapore’s biomedical sector. This was done on the sidelines of the International Medical Device Regulators Forum, which runs from Mar 9 to 13. HSA is the host as well as the current chair of the forum. The collaborations will “pave the way for patients, healthcare and industry practitioners in the respective markets to enjoy greater access to medicines, medical devices and other healthcare innovations”, said HSA. Since Mar 1, medical devices registered with HSA have been able to benefit from a quicker review process for access to the Malaysia market, under the Medical Device Regulatory Reliance Programme. Similarly, medical devices registered with Malaysia’s Medical Device Authority (MDA) can be reviewed more swiftly by HSA to enter the Singapore market.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/hsa-deepens-pacts-malaysia-uzbekistan-faster-medical-innovation-access   (ICE SINGAPORE)
