ICH to Bring India On Board

India will soon become a full member of the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH), according to the country’s Drug Controller General.

India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) joined the council as an observer in February 2016, so it currently has no voting rights although it can attend ICH meetings and nominate experts to working groups.

The organization currently has 16 members and 32 observers. ICH’s founding members include the European Commission, the FDA and Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency.
