PROFESSOR Tony Lawler, Head of Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), has been elected Chair of the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA) for a three-year term.

ICMRA is a collaboration of more than 40 international medicines regulators, with the TGA being one of the eight founding members when it was established in 2013.

“I am honoured to accept the role of Chair of ICMRA, and I recognise the responsibility that comes with such an important global role,” Prof Lawler said.

ICMRA plays a vital part in protecting global public health by facilitating information exchange, addressing current and emerging safety concerns, and promoting collaboration among international regulators.
