An individual who is defined as a Government Official under local law. This includes employees of regulatory authorities, customs officials, tax authority employees, most employees of government-owned hospitals, and officials and other individuals responsible for product approvals, licenses, and registrations.

Government Officials also include those HCPs who are employed by or acting on behalf of a hospital or other institution owned or controlled by a government body, such as HCPs who work at public hospitals or public universities. These HCPs should be considered Government Officials even if they are not considered Government Officials under local law.
