The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. It is responsible for protecting public health by regulating and supervising the safety of food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, and other products that emit radiation. Established in 1906 with the enactment of the Pure Food and Drugs Act, the FDA’s responsibilities have expanded to include the approval of new drugs and medical products based on their safety and efficacy. It also monitors the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution processes to ensure that they meet the required safety standards. The agency plays a critical role in public health emergencies, such as managing drug shortages and fast-tracking the approval of medical products during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The FDA’s regulatory scope makes it a key player in influencing public health policy and practices across the nation and globally.
