Audience: administrators-policy, researchers-scientists ยท Review state: published
The national authority
The Center for Examinations and Tests in Health Service is the Belarusian state body that carries out expert evaluation and testing of medicines and medical devices, working under the Ministry of Health.
Belarus sits within the Eurasian Economic Union framework, and national evaluation work is aligned with union-level rules on medicines and devices alongside national registration.
How products enter the market
Medicines and devices are registered after expert evaluation of quality, safety and efficacy, with laboratory testing carried out by the center.
Post-market work includes quality testing, safety monitoring and the publication of notices on registered products.
Regional and international role
The center takes part in regional regulatory cooperation under the union framework.
Its pairing of evaluation and laboratory testing in one institution makes it a useful example of an expert-center model.
Using this profile
Regulations, registers and notices are published in Russian and Belarusian through the official portal, which is the primary source for current rules and listed in this profile's internal reference record.
For cross-country comparison: Belarus illustrates the expert-center model: evaluation and laboratory testing within one state institution under a regional framework.
Limitations
Educational profile of a national regulatory system, current as of drafting. It simplifies routes and classes and is not legal, regulatory, or clinical advice. Filing and compliance decisions must be confirmed against the authority's current published rules and, where needed, professional regulatory counsel.
