India’s healthcare and pharma sectors are among the fastest-growing globally, with a strong focus on the safety, quality, and efficacy of drugs and medical devices. CDSCO registration, governed by the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940, plays a vital role in this. CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organization), under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, is the national regulatory authority for drugs and medical devices in India. It ensures that all CDSCO-approved drugs and devices meet strict safety and quality standards. The Act, along with Medical Devices Rules, 2017, governs the approval, import, manufacture, and distribution of these products.
