International Pharmaceutical Law

International Pharmaceutical Law refers to the set of regulations and agreements that govern the development, approval, distribution, and marketing of pharmaceuticals across different countries. This area of law ensures that medicines are safe, effective, and available to patients globally while also protecting intellectual property rights and fostering innovation. It includes guidelines from organizations like the World Health Organization and compliance with treaties that facilitate trade and access to medicines. Ultimately, it aims to balance public health needs with the interests of pharmaceutical companies and countries' regulatory frameworks.
