As an approach that supports the best use of available resources and expertise, reliance plays an important role in facilitating timely access to safe, effective and quality-assured medicines and medical devices, as well as in helping regulatory preparedness and response, particularly in context of public health emergencies.
This session will focus on discussing the role of good reliance practices in regulatory decision-making, as well as other tools for regulatory systems strengthening that increase the efficiency of regulators, producing better public health outcomes. It will present the most recent global developments and resources to support regulators, as well as updated information about the global and regional regulatory scenario and practical considerations that can lead to more consistent regulatory processes.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Be familiar with the most up-to-date resources that support regulatory systems strengthening and the adoption of good reliance practices
- Value the benefits of reliance approaches in regulatory decision making, including in the context of public health emergencies
- Understand the current regional landscape and identify opportunities to improve regulatory efficiencies
