European Network of Medicines Agencies (EMEA)

The European Medicines Agency (EMEA), now known as the European Medicines Agency (EMA), is a centralized agency of the European Union responsible for evaluating and supervising medicines for human and veterinary use. It ensures that medicines available in Europe are safe, effective, and of high quality. The EMA reviews clinical trial data, grants approvals, and monitors medicines after they are on the market. By coordinating efforts across EU member states, it helps streamline the approval process and maintains consistent standards, ultimately protecting public health and facilitating access to innovative treatments throughout Europe.
