EMA publishes annual report on its interaction with patients, consumers, health care professionals and their organisations
21 June 2016 - The Agency has expanded activities that could involve patients and health care professionals.
2015 was an important year in pharmaceuticals as it was both the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the European Medicines Agency and the 50th anniversary of the pharmaceutical legislation. The EMA marked this anniversary with a scientific conference entitled ‘Science, Medicines, Health: Patients at the heart of future innovation’. Since its creation, the EMA has continued to evolve and adapt to legislative changes resulting in expansion of its area of work to encompass areas such as rare diseases, herbal medicines, medicines for children and advanced therapies.
