The Secretariat of the PARF Network is entrusted to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), which provides technical and administrative support to all bodies of the Network, fostering collaboration, transparency, and the strengthening of medicines regulatory systems in the Americas.
The PARF Network Secretariat is the official body responsible for representing the Network in relevant international forums, such as the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) , the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA), the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF), and the International Conference of Drug Regulatory Authorities (ICDRA).
Through its participation in these forums, the Secretariat facilitates the exchange of technical information and the establishment of global standards that contribute to strengthening the regulation, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products and medical devices worldwide.
