IPRP was created to establish a forum for its regulatory members and observers to exchange information on issues of mutual interest and enable regulatory cooperation. This dedicated venue will assist in maximising potential efficiencies in addressing the increasingly complex global regulatory environment, facilitate the implementation of ICH and other internationally harmonised technical guidelines for pharmaceuticals for human use, promote collaboration and regulatory convergence, and contribute to the coordination of a range of international efforts related to regulation of medicinal products for human use.
