Health Canada will provide an update on Health Canada's release process, including requests made through the portal, and an overview of the timelines. Health Canada will also outline recent disclosure of COVID-19 product information and international harmonization activities with the EMA.
This Symposium will also share Industry experiences and provide attendees with an opportunity to raise questions with all speakers on this topic.
This event will be of interest to:
· Regulatory Affairs professionals from medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biologics
