The PANDRH Steering Committee is the decision-making body responsible for the strategic and operational management of the Network. Its main role is to advance projects, activities, and priorities related to regulatory harmonization and convergence; support the implementation of the guidance provided by the Pan American Conference; make recommendations for its consideration; and help ensure the continuity and coherence of the Network’s work.
The Steering Committee is composed of the Network’s Secretariat, served by PAHO, as well as Members and their corresponding Alternates representing the different subregions of the Americas, thereby promoting balanced country participation in the leadership of PANDRH: North America; Central America, including Cuba and the Dominican Republic; the Caribbean; the Andean Region; and the Southern Cone. Its Members are appointed for a four-year term, with a staggered rotation system to preserve continuity of work. Representatives of the NRAr and regional regulatory initiatives, as well as ALIFAR and FIFARMA in their role as founders, participate in Steering Committee discussions.
