Also known as Sanitary Law, the Regulatory Law in Health Area comprises a set of laws, decrees, ordinances, resolutions, etc., from municipal, state, and federal powers, which aim to protect the population’s health.

In this sense, the National Surveillance Sanitary Agency – ANVISA, which is linked to the Ministry of Health, plays an important role as a regulatory and surveillance state agent of the subject matter. Among other obligations, the ANVISA is responsible for authorizing the operation of producers, distributors, and importers of medicines; for granting registration for these products; for inspecting manufacturing, control, import, storage, distribution, and sale facilities, as well as places where services related to health are rendered.
