In Burundi, the regulation of the pharmaceutical sector is ensured by the Ministry of Public Health, through the Department of Pharmacy, Drug, and Laboratory, as well as the General Inspection of Public Health and of the fight against AIDS. The country has put in place plans to set up a National Drug and Food Regulatory Authority (NDFRA) to oversee the medicine regulations in the country.
Once adopted, the NDFRA will be responsible for regulating all aspects related to quality assurance and the safety of products such as prefabricated and packaged foods, medicinal products, human and veterinary use, phytosanitary products, cosmetics, herbal medicines, traditional remedies, medical devices or materials or substances used in the manufacture of products whose consumption may be harmful to human and animal health.

Burundi currently uses its MoH website to share information with its citizens. It heavily relies on the East African Community (EAC) Medicine Regulation Harmonization system for regulation of the pharmaceuticals supply in the country.
