The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has launched a new Online Advertisement Application Portal, a major step in the organisation’s ongoing digital transformation efforts.
The launch event, held at the T.C. Corquaye Conference Room in the FDA offices, brought together members of the FDA’s Executive Committee, management, directors, partners, and stakeholders.
Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Dr. Delese Darko emphasised that the platform aims to enhance convenience, transparency, and accessibility, allowing customers to submit advertisements, make payments, and receive approvals without physical visits.
The FDA’s mandate under the Public Health Act, 2012 (Act 851), includes the regulation of product advertisements. The new portal is expected to significantly simplify this process, providing a clear and traceable record of all transactions and communications. This move is aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the advertising process for all stakeholders.
As the FDA continues to adapt to the evolving needs of the industry, the organization expressed its commitment to further improvements. The new portal is just one of many initiatives aimed at creating a safe, transparent, and efficient regulatory environment in Ghana.
The FDA encourages all stakeholders to embrace the new platform and join in the collective effort to maintain the highest standards of product quality and safety across the country.
