Overview of global initiatives on medicine regulation

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has published recently an overview of existing international regulatory initiatives for human medicines. The mapping was carried out by EMA on behalf of the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA).

The report lists all international projects and provides international regulatory agencies with comprehensive details on the number and scope of global initiatives that can support decision-making regarding future engagement, prioritisation and coordination.

The aim of the mapping exercise was to raise awareness of ongoing international regulatory activities, help establish a basis for a more strategic coordination to avoid duplication of efforts, and identify possible gaps.

The report can be found here.
