Maturity Level 3 is the second-highest in the four-tiered WHO classification of national medicines regulatory systems.
Evaluations of Ghana Food and Drugs Authority, the national regulatory body for medicines, were carried out in 2014, 2015, and 2019 through the WHO Global Benchmarking Tool.
Among the WHO African Region’s 47 countries, Ghana and Tanzania are the only two to have attained a Level 3 ranking.
