It also undermines confidence in health systems, health professionals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and distributors.

After approval, a regulation has the identical power because the law itself. Guidelines, which don't carry the force of law, will be more easily modified and updated and offer informal information on what the government’s thinking is regarding the most effective thanks to implement regulations. Following guidelines will help avoid misinterpretation of and facilitate compliance with laws and regulations.
