FDA addresses medical device manufacturing recovery in Puerto Rico

FDA issues statement on the medical device manufacturing recovery in Puerto Rico following the infrastructure devastation from Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

On Oct. 20, FDA said it had “joined federal and local agencies in the effort to help the people of Puerto Rico recover and begin to rebuild the island.”

The agency reported that it is “working closely with dozens of pharmaceutical and medical device companies to help these important facilities get back online; enabling employees to return to work and manufacturers to ramp up production of medical products used by all Americans.”
