This causes many controversial issues regarding the results of health and cosmetic products. Therefore, the purpose of this course is to give exposure to researchers and industry in the registration of products at the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) and to encourage the exchange of ideas among researchers and industry in the field of product registration so that negative perceptions related to the difficulty of registering health products such as herbal medicines, supplements and cosmetics can be reduced.
