Approval of a medicine in the EU: the people involved

Who are the people behind the approval of medicines in the EU? Meet the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), the scientific committee responsible for evaluating medicines for human use in the European Union. In this video, discover who the CHMP members are, how they work together across Europe, and how their scientific expertise helps ensure that medicines meet the highest standards of quality, safety and effectiveness. Through rigorous assessment and collaboration with experts across the EU, the CHMP plays a key role in shaping the recommendations that support the authorisation of new medicines for patients.
