Regulatory Convergence

Meaning

Regulatory Convergence is the process through which different national and regional regulatory bodies, particularly those overseeing pharmaceuticals and medical products, move toward adopting increasingly similar or identical regulatory requirements, technical standards, and inspection practices. The overarching goal is to achieve greater global harmonization of drug development and manufacturing standards. This alignment reduces regulatory redundancy, streamlines the approval process, and ultimately accelerates patient access to essential and innovative hormonal therapies worldwide.
