WHO launches online platform for information on medical devices

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has launched the ‘Medical Devices Information System’ (MeDvlS), an online platform for information on medical devices.

WHO disclosed this on its website on Monday tagging it as “the first global open-access clearing house for information on medical devices.”

According to WHO, MeDvlS is designed to support informed decision-making for governments, regulators, and users when it comes to selecting, procuring, and utilising medical devices for diagnostics, testing, and treatment of diseases and health conditions.
