Drug Development and Health Care

Working Groups

Our team plays an active part in various national decision-making committees and advisory boards, including the local ethics committee, drug safety boards, the national drug reimbursement committee, as well as committees and working parties of the European Medicines Agency. This ensures that we keep up to date with the latest regulatory, health technology assessment (HTA), and pricing and reimbursement standards.
