## TL;DR

Guinea's medicines regulator, a directorate of the health ministry. It registers and authorises medicines and their import, organises quality control and runs pharmacovigilance.

## Summary

NIH ClinRegs (Guinea profile, reviewed January 2026) describes the DNPM as the branch of the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene responsible for registering, authorising and importing medicines, with a Medicines Division (approval and import, supply, pharmacovigilance, narcotics) and a Division of Pharmaceutical Establishments and Laboratories (standards, quality assurance, falsified medicines); it must issue an import licence for trial products. ClinRegs notes a 2023 update recording a renaming to the National Directorate of Medicines and Pharmacies, and that the DNPM website has been inaccessible since April 2025; the address it gave now serves unrelated content. Guinea signed the African Medicines Agency treaty on 7 February 2020 and ratified it on 21 April 2021. WHO's August 2026 list of regulators at maturity level 3 or 4 does not include Guinea. The coordinates are an approximate point for Kaloum, Conakry.
