S.vlad.malichenko@gmail.comInstitute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation15122022261758129032022Copyright © 2022,2022The rapid increase in the consumption of medical products in various regions of the world driven by demographic processes, emergencies and globalization of development and production processes result in a series of threats and challenges to states in relation to ensuring control of safety and quality. No country in the world, regardless of the level of economic development, is no longer able to provide the necessary level of control over imported medical products without the formation of stable mechanisms for exchanging information with the control and supervisory authorities of other countries, as well as supporting the implementation of advanced standards of regulating the circulation of these products. The convergence of regulations in certain spheres of activity of states in certain regions of the world has been a widespread trend in recent decades, especially with regard to health technologies. In this article, the author examines the features of health technologies regulation harmonization within the framework of regional integration associations in the European and African region to formulate recommendations for the implementation of similar approaches to the development of supranational regulation of the common markets in EAEU.harmonizationsingle markethealthcare technologiesintegrationгармонизацияединый рыноктехнологии здравоохраненияинтеграция[Shadlen K.
