Taipei, May 29 (CNA) Taiwan will attend a meeting of the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) next month in Amsterdam as an official member, the head of the Taiwanese delegation said Wednesday.
During an ICH assembly last year, the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) officially became one of the pharmaceutical regulatory members of the international body, said TFDA Director General Wu Shou-mei (吳秀梅), the leader of the delegation.
At the biannual meeting June 1-6 this year, Taiwan will show its power in the pharmaceutical and health sector, Wu said.
The TFDA’s participation in the international pharmaceutical and technical efforts would not only boost the development of Taiwan’s pharmaceutical industry but also promote its people’s wellbeing by giving them greater access to pharmaceutical products, she said.
