Abstract

It is a great pleasure and a privilege to welcome you on behalf of the Swiss regulatory agency, the Interkantonale Kontrollstelle für Heilmittel (IKS). The focus of the RAD-AR initiative, namely, the risk/benefit assessment of drugs, has always been the most important and the most demanding task of drug regulatory agencies, not only in Switzerland but in all countries. I am pleased that during the last 2 years our office has undertaken several important steps to improve drug safety.
