Regulatory Agencies play an important role in health promotion and protection by ensuring efficacy, safety and quality of medicines. The increasing body of knowledge in the biomedical field and the changing socio-economic context require a continuous update of the decision-making process to ensure optimal use and sustainable access to medicines for the National Health Service.

AIFA, pursuant to its institutional mandate, besides regulating the marketing of medicines, establishes their therapeutic and economic value and promotes their use through independent scientific information.

Therefore, the AIFA Scientific Seminars are aimed to foster discussion between regulatory agencies and the broader field including the scientific community, health professionals, patient associations and the business world, with a view to sharing methodological, ethical and governance aspects of the various issues concerning medicinal products.
