The Department of Health (DOH) on Friday suspended the increase in fees for facility registration and certificate of product registration for health products.

In a public advisory, the DOH said Secretary Teodoro Herbosa approved the recommendation of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Director General Paolo Teston to suspend DOH Administrative Order (AO) 2024-0016 for 60 days.
