The European Medicines Agency (EMA)

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a regulatory body in the European Union responsible for evaluating and supervising medicinal products. Its main goal is to ensure that medications, vaccines, and medical devices are safe, effective, and of high quality for use in the EU. The EMA assesses new drugs before they can be sold, monitors their safety once they’re on the market, and provides scientific advice to support the development of new treatments. The agency plays a crucial role in protecting public health and fostering innovation in the pharmaceutical industry.
