International Conference on Harmonisation

The International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) is a collaborative effort among regulatory agencies and industry groups from regions like Europe, Japan, and the United States. Its goal is to develop and promote consistent standards for researching, testing, and approving new medicines globally. By harmonizing these regulations, ICH helps ensure that medicines are safe, effective, and of high quality, while also making the development process more efficient and reducing duplicated efforts across countries. This benefits both healthcare providers and patients by streamlining access to reliable medicines worldwide.
