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.","asOf":"2026-11-11","links":[{"label":"NIH ClinRegs: Guinea","url":"https://clinregs.niaid.nih.gov/country/guinea"},{"label":"African Union: signatures and ratifications of the African Medicines Agency treaty (19 September 2023, PDF)","url":"https://au.int/sites/default/files/treaties/36892-sl-TREATY_FOR_THE_ESTABLISHMENT_OF_THE_AFRICAN_MEDICINES_AGENCY.pdf"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["guinea-ministry-of-health"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"Conakry","country":"GN","lat":9.515,"lng":-13.708,"institutionType":"government","programs":["Medicines registration and import authorisation","Pharmacovigilance","Quality control of medicines"]},"route":"/institutions/dnpm-guinea/","neighbours":{"institution":[{"id":"guinea-ministry-of-health","kind":"institution","name":"Ministère de la Santé et de l'Hygiène Publique, Guinée (MSHP)","route":"/institutions/guinea-ministry-of-health/"}]}}
