The National Agency for Pharmaceutical Products (ANPP) is a pivotal body within the Algerian health system, undertaking vital tasks to ensure the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products and medical devices circulated in the market.

This research aims to analyze the Agency's legal and regulatory framework, highlighting its legal nature as a public administrative institution, and its objectives in protecting public health and regulating the pharmaceutical market. The research also covers its administrative and technical structure, including the Board of Directors, Director-General, Scientific Council, and specialized committees, in addition to its technical and regulatory missions such as granting marketing authorizations and approvals, inspection, and quality control. The research concludes by reviewing its financial system and international cooperation relations, emphasizing its role as a safety valve for public health in Algeria
