Tanzania Medicines and Medical Advisory Authority (TMDA) regulates the quality of medicines, diagnostics, and devices in Tanzania.

It enforces major legislation and translates it into actionable healthcare guidelines. Mr Matiko's recent presentation covered reporting safety and adverse events, especially for immunisations, and explains TMDA's organisational structure. Tools like a mobile app and USSD code facilitate real-time reporting. Advocacy campaigns aim to engage the public and healthcare workers in the reporting process.
