Welcome to Botswana Medicines Regulatory Authority

The Botswana Medicines Regulatory Authority (BoMRA) was established through the Medicines and Related Substances Act of 2013. The MRSA authorises BoMRA to perform functions given by the shareholder – The Government of Botswana.

The MRSA of 2013 replaced the repealed Drugs and Related Substances Act No. 18 of 1992 which was previously enforced by the Drugs Regulatory Unit (DRU) under the Ministry of Health and Wellness. BoMRA has taken over a combination of functions that were previously performed under the Ministry of Health and Wellness and the Ministry of Agricultural Development and Food Security.

Our normal business hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00am-1:00pm and 2:00 pm -5:00 pm, note that we are closed during Public Holidays.
