Special Report: 3rd China-U.S. SEDChinese and U.S. regulators will jointly supervise bilateral trade in drugs and medical devices, starting with 18 items, said a spokeswoman with China's State Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday.
The SFDA signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Tuesday, "a step forward to provide safe medicines and devices for the people of both countries," official says.
In the first stage, China will list eight types of drugs and medical devices that the U.S. government should focus on, while the United States would designate 10 items on a list for China. The lists will expand, based on the effect of the work in the first stage.
