    The Evolving Landscape of Medical Device Regulation in East, Central, and Southern Africa
    Sarah Hubner, Caroline Maloney, Sarah Dunn Phillips, Pratik Doshi, Julius Mugaga, Robert Tamale Ssekitoleko, Jenna L. Mueller and Tamara N. Fitzgerald
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2021, 9(1):136-148; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00578

    Most existing medical devices were not built for the challenges often present in many African countries. Regulatory systems for medical devices are essential to ensuring device safety and efficacy. Yet, currently, most African countries do not have a well-defined regulatory process. This discourages both innovators within Africa and companies outside of Africa from developing quality medical devices suitable for these challenges.
