He said that under the new system, the applications for registration of medical services and equipment would be decided within 20 days in a transparent and merit-based system.
Regretting the inordinate delays in the registration process of medical services in the past, he referred to Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (Drap) as “Drag, not Drap, as it was dragging the process not for months but for years. The reasons were known to all.”
