New Delhi, March 26 -- India is set to share its expertise in drug regulations with select nations, according to officials.

A plan has been put forward by the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare (NIHFW), an autonomous body under the Union health ministry, to train drug regulators from Africa, South-East Asia and the Saarc region.

Saarc is short for South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.

This initiative, part of the external affairs ministry's International Training and Education Center for Health (ITECH) programme, aims to strengthen regulatory knowledge and facilitate the exchange of best practices.
