“…However, to complement the global regulatory benefits that flow from the system of reliance predicated on the broad similarities observed across nations, we believe 13 that the global regulatory community could – and should – be paying greater, systematic attention to the potential countervailing insights arising from the contextual differences across nations, and that significant and untapped potential exists for novel regulatory insights to flow from regulators in LMICs to regulators in HICs.…”

Drug regulatory institutions, infrastructures, and systems are becoming increasingly interconnected across national boundaries and increasingly global in outlook. This process is reflected in the broadening and deepening application of the principles and practice of Regulatory Reliance, and parallel initiatives to strengthen the capacities of regulatory institutions in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMIC). While these developments are important and constructive, they have tended to be framed in terms of the transfer of systems, knowledge, and skills from relatively “mature” regulatory agencies in high‐income countries (HIC) to less‐well‐resourced regulatory agencies in LMIC. This framing recognizes and foregrounds the considerable practical challenges that many LMIC regulatory agencies face, but in doing so, also backgrounds and underestimates the significance of the different contextual insights that LMIC health researchers and regulators can bring to the regulatory deliberations of their HIC counterparts. This position paper argues that the systematic pursuit, identification, and sharing of these different contextual insights—a dimension of regulatory science that we term “Regulatory Complementarity”—can augment the current practice and goals of Regulatory Reliance, and further invigorate the emerging global regulatory ecosystem.

Healthcare systems in low-income countries face numerous challenges, including limited access to healthcare due to geographical constraints and transport problems, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of healthcare professionals. Overworked staff members struggle to meet the growing demand for medical services, and brain drain further exacerbates personnel shortages. Insufficient funding makes healthcare systems difficult to operate, leading to limited budgets for essential services and infrastructure improvements. Financial instability is exacerbated by a high reliance on foreign aid. The burden of preventable and treatable diseases, particularly communicable ones, places a significant strain on limited resources. Lack of health education and policy instability also contribute to these challenges. Inequalities in access to healthcare contribute to social and economic disparities, making it difficult for marginalized communities to obtain adequate medical treatment
