EMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP)

The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) is a group within the European Medicines Agency (EMA) responsible for assessing the safety, quality, and effectiveness of medicines before they can be approved for use in the European Union. Comprised of experts from various countries, CHMP reviews scientific data submitted by pharmaceutical companies, making recommendations on whether a medicine should be authorized. Their work ensures that medicines available to the public meet high standards for safety and efficacy, helping protect and promote public health across Europe.
