The government's Longevity and Regenerative Therapies Unit grants ethics approvals and licenses for longevity and regenerative therapy programs. The LARTA Agency, exclusively mandated by the Ministry of Health & Wellness, manages all applications through its digital portal and supports companies in navigating the regulatory process.
Through the LARTA Agency, every applicant follows a unified pathway for licensing, research protocols, and compliance. Our framework guarantees that therapies in The Bahamas are held to uncompromising standards of safety, ethical integrity, and scientific excellence.
The 2024 Longevity and Regenerative Therapies Act (LARTA) fosters global research, innovation, and access to regenerative, holistic, and functional therapies that have demonstrated safety, scientific merit, high-quality management, and the ability to be ethically delivered.
Our integrated pillars work together to create a seamless journey from regulatory approval to patient impact, all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
Patient safety is at the heart of the LARTA system. Every therapy and research protocol undergoes rigorous ethical review and oversight to ensure that access to longevity and regenerative medicine is delivered responsibly. Strict guidelines and continuous monitoring protect participants, uphold informed consent, and guarantee that all interventions meet the highest ethical standards.
Ongoing evaluation is essential to measure the real-world effectiveness of therapies. LARTA requires comprehensive follow-up data collection and analysis for every approved protocol, enabling continuous assessment of outcomes. This focus on transparency and efficacy ensures that patients, providers, and regulators have access to reliable information on the benefits and risks of each therapy.
All therapies proposed for Investigator-Initiated Trials (IITs) under LARTA must undergo rigorous scientific and ethical evaluation. Each submission is subject to independent expert review to confirm that only evidence-based approaches advance, supported by robust data, transparent methodologies, and adherence to ICH-aligned international best practices. This process ensures that trials conducted through LARTA maintain the highest levels of integrity, regulatory credibility, and scientific excellence, reinforcing The Bahamas’ standing as a trusted hub for longevity and regenerative medicine.
Quality control is embedded throughout the LARTA process. From initial application to post-treatment reporting, every step is subject to strict standards and independent oversight. This ensures that all therapies and research activities maintain consistency, reliability, and excellence-reinforcing The Bahamas' reputation as a trusted destination for longevity and regenerative medicine.
