ICH (International Conference on Harmonisation)

The International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) is an organization that brings together regulatory authorities and the pharmaceutical industry from around the world to develop common standards for drug development, testing, and approval. Its goal is to ensure that medications are safe, effective, and of high quality, while making the process more efficient across different countries. By harmonizing regulations, ICH helps streamline drug approval procedures, reducing duplication and accelerating access to new medicines globally. This collaboration benefits both healthcare providers and patients by fostering consistency and reliability in the drug development process.
