There's an App for That: China FDA Launches Mobile Drug Regulation Application

The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) has launched a "national food and drug regulation" application, or "app," that permits the user to directly access the agency’s rules, regulations, working papers, drug quality announcements, medical device quality bulletins, drug and device recall information, and press releases.

The application works with iPhone and Android phone operating systems and was developed as part of what the Chinese government calls its commitment to greater public transparency and in order to meet the growing public demand for access to food and drug regulatory information. 

CFDA notes that a “highlight” of the new App is its search function that permits a variety of queries including queries related to imported drugs and devices.

The app is available for download on CFDA's website ( here).
