REGULATORY AFFAIRS IN PERU - DIGESA
Peruvian Regulatory Affairs - Health registration of food products and industrialized beverages is handled by the General Direction of Environmental Health - DIGESA
Regulatory affairs in Peru are regulated by the Ministry of Health and its two entities: the General Direction of Environmental Health DIGESA and the General Direction of Medicines and Drugs- DIGEMID.
The owner of any food products and industrialized beverages can get the right to manufacture, trade, or import these types of products; they must apply for the Health Registration in Peru for these products before the General Direction of Environmental Health DIGESA.
Estudio Delion includes within its staff professionals specialized in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, who work together with the firm’s lawyers, and provide personalized consultancy using Work meetings and Feasibility Studies that allow us to understand the necessities of each particular case referring to Health Registration. This policy saves time and money because it decreases transaction costs and facilitates the taking of correct decisions in a shorter time.
