The Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risk (COFEPRIS) is a decentralized organ of the Department of Health with technical, administrative and operational autonomy, whose mission is to protect the population against sanitary risks, through sanitary regulation, control and promotion under a single command, which provides unity and homogeneity to the policies which are determined.
At the COFEPRIS, the scope previously attributed to sanitary regulation, control and promotion was enlarged and transformed from an instrumental policy into a public policy by objective; that is, it went from being a medium to becoming the social purpose of the latter, including other non regulative instruments, with the intention of preserving more efficiently the population’s health.
