EMA

EMA (European Medicines Agency) ensures the safety and efficacy of human and veterinary medicines across the EU.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a decentralized agency of the European Union, established in 1995. Its core mission involves the scientific evaluation, supervision, and safety monitoring of medicines within the EU and European Economic Area (EEA). EMA plays a critical role in drug approval, providing recommendations on new medicines after rigorous assessment of their quality, safety, and efficacy. For example, it was instrumental in the rapid evaluation and authorization of COVID-19 vaccines, including those from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, during the pandemic. The agency also monitors the safety of medicines throughout their lifecycle, ensuring ongoing patient protection.
