Draft law on medicines and medical devices

On Tuesday April 8^th, the Council of Ministers gave the green light to the Draft Law on medicines and medical devices, which aims to modernise and significantly improve the regulatory framework in Spain. Once approved, the Draft Law will replace Royal Legislative Decree 1/2015, of July 24^th, which approves the revised text of the Law on guarantees and rational use of medicines and health products.

On Wednesday 9^th of April, the period for submitting observations opened, and will remain open until May 8^th. This period allows the sector to analyze the new regulation and provide any comments they deem appropriate.
