Guido Rasi elected chair of International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities
8 July 2019 - The International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities has elected EMA’s Executive Director Guido Rasi as its new chair.
ICMRA brings together the leaders of regulatory authorities around the world to provide strategic directions for enhanced cooperation on common scientific, regulatory or safety challenges, improved communication and information sharing between its members and effective global crisis response mechanisms.
“It is a great honour to be elected chair of ICMRA at this critical juncture,” said Professor Rasi. “When development, manufacture and distribution of medicines is global, we regulators must work together globally to prepare for new medicines and technologies and improve global oversight of the safety and quality of medicines. We owe this to patients around the world.”
