The equivalent of the FDA in Singapore is the Health Sciences Authority (HSA).
The HSA is a statutory board under the Ministry of Health, responsible for regulating the safety, quality, and efficacy of health products and medical devices in Singapore.
Similar to the FDA, the HSA's responsibilities include:
* **Licensing and registration of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other health products**
* **Conducting pre-market evaluation and post-market surveillance**
* **Setting standards and guidelines for the manufacturing and distribution of health products**
* **Enforcing regulations and taking action against non-compliant companies**
* **Promoting public health through education and awareness campaigns**The HSA plays a crucial role in protecting public health by ensuring that all health products available in Singapore meet high safety and quality standards.
