Application to Register a New Drug for Marketing
This service allows you to submit an application to register a new drug for marketing and facilitates online payment for the registration process.
The Ministry of Health is obligated to ensure that marketed drugs are effective and safe for patients. This aligns with Section 47 of the Pharmacists Ordinance and the Pharmacists Regulations (drugs), 1986 (Hebrew).

Registration is granted only after a drug’s efficacy and proper manufacturing are confirmed.
