Health Registration in Peru: ¿What Is It and Why Is It Necessary?
In Peru, the Health Registration is an official document that authorizes both individuals and legal entities to manufacture, package, and market medicines, food, cosmetics, and hygiene products for consumption without posing risks to public health.
Not having a Health Registration means that products lack a certificate of guarantee and do not meet the quality and purity standards required throughout their shelf life.
Who Grants Health Registrations in Peru?
In Peru, Health Registrations are granted by the Ministry of Health, following an evaluation of several aspects of the product such as its formula, composition, manufacturing process, labeling, and packaging. This task is carried out through two of its specialized units:
The office responsible for the health registration of pharmaceutical products and medical devices.
The office responsible for registering, modifying, and canceling the health registration of food, beverages, and related products.
