## TL;DR

Guinea's health ministry. It is the authority for medicines approval and clinical trials, through its ethics committee and its pharmacy directorate, and it runs the national cancer programme.

## Summary

NIH ClinRegs (Guinea profile, reviewed January 2026) describes the Ministère de la Santé et de l'Hygiène Publique as the regulatory authority for national marketing authorisation and for clinical trials: the Comité National d'Ethique pour la Recherche en Santé (CNERS) reviews and approves protocols, and the Direction Nationale de la Pharmacie et du Médicament handles registration, authorisation and import of medicines. ClinRegs gives its address as Almamiya, Kaloum, Conakry. On World Cancer Day 2025 the ministry reported the national cancer programme's coordinator saying that registry data showed 840 new cases and 595 deaths, and stated that cervical cancer is the commonest cancer in Guinea, with more than 2,000 cases and nearly 1,500 deaths a year; it thanked the IAEA and the Association Guinéenne pour la Lutte contre le Cancer for support including vaccines against liver and cervical cancer. The coordinates are an approximate point for Kaloum, Conakry.
