Description:
RE-ADVERTISED
Purpose of the Consultancy
To develop medicines regulations that will support the implementation of the Pharmacy Profession Act 2011 and the Medicinal Products Act 2011 in Fiji.
Background
Strengthening regulations and legal frameworks for pharmaceutical systems will ensure improved access to quality medicines for the population. Fiji has been working on strengthening its national regulatory authorities to enforce and implement its pharmacy laws and wishes to continue so. WHO has initially supported the Fiji Government in drafting the current enacted Fiji Pharmacy Profession Act 2011 and Fiji Medicinal Products Act 2011. There are also four regulations that has been drafted but never enacted, as follows:
Medicine Regulations,
Device Regulation,
Advertisement Regulation, and
Scheduling Regulation.
Additionally, there are four regulations from the repealed Pharmacy & Poisons Act Cap 115 with its specific Schedules that are still in used:
Pharmacy and Poisons (Manufacturing and Wholesale Licensing) Regulations which has six (6) Schedules,
Poisons (Industrial and Agricultural) Regulation which has 3 Schedules,
Poisons Regulations with 21 Schedules, and
Pharmacist Registration in Fiji Regulation.
The medicine regulatory authorities in Fiji continue to face enforcement challenges due to the gaps in the current law and regulations that are not addressing the use and control of medicinal products and practice adequately. Therefore, there is a need to develop new regulation(s) based on the assessment and consultation with key stakeholders, as well as to harmonize them with all other existing legislation.
