Pharmaceutical Inspection Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S)

The Pharmaceutical Inspection Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S) is an international organization that promotes cooperation among regulatory agencies to ensure the quality, safety, and effectiveness of pharmaceutical manufacturing. It provides a framework for sharing standards, inspection procedures, and best practices. By harmonizing inspections across different countries, PIC/S helps ensure that medicines meet consistent quality standards worldwide, facilitating smoother approval processes and safeguarding public health through coordinated oversight of pharmaceutical factories.
