EMA: ZeClinics gives its support to the campaign @BCN4EMA

Barcelona must become the new host of the European Medicament Agency. Let us make this dream possible.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is an agency of the European Union, which is responsible for the evaluation of applications for commercial authorisation of medicinal products in the European Union and its supervision. Its objective is to “Contribute to the protection of public and animal health by ensuring that medicinal products for human and veterinary use are safe, effective and of high quality for the benefit of public and animal health within the European Union.”

Now, because of BREXIT, the EMA must leave London and multiple candidate cities are bidding for the right to host the new headquarters of the agency.

So, Barcelona has been proposed as the best city to host it and we, at ZeClinics want to give our full support to the campaign #BCN4EMA
