The National Institute for Drug and Food Surveillance (INVIMA) has launched InvimÁgil, a digital platform designed to simplify and streamline registration, permit, and health notification processes. This advance represents a milestone in the modernization of health processes in Colombia, enabling the systematization, automation, and self-management of procedures.
The implementation of InvimÁgil will be carried out gradually, beginning with food and alcoholic beverage registrations. In the first phase, users and companies will be able to register on the platform, preparing the system for full operation. The second phase will allow for the upload and management of the necessary documentation to register activities and obtain marketing authorizations online, with real-time monitoring and a completely digital relationship with INVIMA.
To obtain an online health registration, users must create an account on the platform, which will allow them to perform future actions within InvimÁgil. The platform will be implemented in stages, beginning with food and alcoholic beverage registrations, followed by health notifications for cosmetics, household hygiene products, toiletries, and pesticides. Modules for medical devices and, finally, medications will be enabled in the second half of the year.
**WHOM DOES THIS IMPACT? **

**CONCLUSION: **
InvimÁgil has a positive and significant impact on the modernization of the healthcare system and the competitiveness of the business sector in Colombia.
