One key milestone in this journey has been securing registration and manufacturing approvals from various national regulatory authorities, including the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) Ghana, for Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) and External Preparation pharmaceutical products. This regulatory green light reflects Taj Pharma’s capability to meet stringent international GMP standards and operate with a high degree of transparency, quality control, and product efficacy.


What Is the FDA Ghana and Its Role in Pharmaceutical Regulation?

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) of Ghana is the national regulatory body responsible for ensuring the safety, quality, and efficacy of human and veterinary medicines, food, cosmetics, and medical devices within the Republic of Ghana.

Core Functions of FDA Ghana in the Pharmaceutical Sector:

  • Evaluate and approve new pharmaceutical product registrations.
  • Inspect and certify foreign manufacturing facilities.
  • Enforce Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Quality Assurance (QA) compliance.
  • Monitor adverse drug reactions and pharmacovigilance.
  • Maintain a public registry of approved manufacturers and products.

For any pharmaceutical company like Taj Pharma looking to export and sell in Ghana, obtaining FDA Ghana product registration and manufacturer approval is mandatory.
