ICH Guidelines (International Council for Harmonisation)

The International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) develops guidelines that unify regulations for the pharmaceutical industry across different countries. These guidelines help ensure that drug development, approval, and safety practices are consistent and efficient worldwide. By harmonizing standards, ICH aims to enhance the quality, safety, and efficacy of medicines while minimizing duplication of testing and facilitating global access to safe and effective treatments. This cooperation benefits patients, healthcare professionals, and the pharmaceutical industry by streamlining processes and improving public health outcomes.
