The 26th Global Harmonization Working Party (GHWP) and Technical Committees will be held in Riyadh from February 13 to 16. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has invited regulatory agencies, the medical device industry, and anyone else interested in medical device regulation to register for the event taking place at The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Riyadh.
At the GHWP meeting, regulatory advancements in the medical device market as well as technological advancements related to the sector-including the function of artificial intelligence, new technologies, medical software, and medical biotechnology-will be covered. By developing regulatory frameworks and legislation for medical devices in accordance with international best practices, and by assisting developing nations in the development of their regulatory frameworks and the utilization of the varied experiences of the organization's members, the meeting will improve the harmonization and convergence in medical devices regulation between countries.
“Our member countries are keen to support countries that may not have a strong medical device regulatory regime in place, and the event is an opportunity for such countries not only to gain regulatory insights but also to build new relationships and forge stronger relationships with their global peers,” he said.
Al-Dalaan pointed out that 33 regulatory authorities are now a part of the organization, including those from Saudi Arabia, China, the United States of America, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Additionally, the business is engaging with a number of consultants from the US, Europe, and Japan who have regulatory experience.
“There are also different collaboration channels with other partners such as APEC, WHO, OECD and the International Medical Devices Regulators Forum,” he said.
Al-Dalaan, who has chaired GHWP since 2018, said the organization also includes nine scientific and technical working groups. The working groups focus on preparing legislative regulations that govern the medical device industry for new and emerging technologies, from the stage conceptualization up to clinical trials and post-market surveillance.
Registration for the event is open and may be accessed through the websites of GHWP ( ) and SFDA ( )
