Faster Access to Foreign-Approved Drugs and Medical Devices
This bill aims to speed up access to drugs, biological products, and medical devices in the U.S. that are already approved for sale in other countries. This could allow citizens to receive needed treatments more quickly, especially for urgent health needs.
Key points
Drugs and medical devices approved in select countries (e.g., UK) may become available faster in the U.S.
The approval process will be shorter, potentially meaning quicker access to new therapies for patients.
The FDA will still assess product safety and effectiveness based on foreign approvals, with the option to deny if concerns arise.
The act aims to address unmet medical needs in the United States.
