This initiative aims to enhance evidence-based decision-making, expedite drug approval processes, and expand public access to cutting-edge treatments. By integrating specialized experts, COFEPRIS seeks to streamline regulatory reviews and reinforce Mexico’s role as a leading hub for pharmaceutical research and innovation.
“The inclusion of these specialists will significantly enhance evidence-based decision-making with the highest scientific rigor,” stated COFEPRIS Commissioner Armida Zúñiga Estrada in a 14 March announcement. Furthermore, their work will have a direct impact on the availability of innovative treatments.
