EU Medicines Agency

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a public agency that evaluates and supervises medicines in the European Union. Its main role is to assess whether new medicines are safe and effective before they are approved for use across member countries. EMA also monitors medicines once they are on the market to ensure ongoing safety and efficacy. By coordinating reviews and providing scientific guidance, it helps ensure that patients in Europe have access to high-quality, effective, and safe treatments. Essentially, EMA acts as a central authority to protect public health by regulating medicines within the EU.
