ICH (International Council for Harmonisation) guidelines

The International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) is an organization that brings together regulatory authorities and the pharmaceutical industry to develop guidelines for drug development and approval. Its primary goal is to ensure that medicines are safe, effective, and of high quality while also streamlining the regulatory process across different countries. By harmonizing standards, the ICH helps reduce duplication of testing, accelerates drug development, and enhances public health globally. These guidelines cover various aspects of drug research, from clinical trials to manufacturing practices, ensuring consistency and safety in the pharmaceutical industry.
