About MedStatus
Pharmaceutical Intelligence
for Africa
Empowering healthcare professionals, researchers, and developers with transparent access to medicine registration data across the region.
Our Mission
MedStatus aggregates pharmaceutical registration data from official regulatory authorities across Africa into a single, searchable platform. We make it easy to verify whether a medicine is registered, who manufactures it, and its current regulatory status.
By making this data accessible and structured, we help reduce the prevalence of unregistered and counterfeit medicines while supporting informed decision-making across the healthcare value chain.

Data Sources
All data is sourced directly from official government regulatory authorities. We do not modify registration records - we aggregate and present them in a structured, searchable format. Device classification references are sourced from WIPO Nice Classification Publication (NCLPUB): https://nclpub.wipo.int/enfr/.
Disclaimer
This platform is for informational purposes only. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, users should always verify critical information with official regulatory authority records and consult with qualified healthcare professionals before making any medical decisions.
