The MedDRA Management Board, appointed by the ICH Steering Committee, has overall responsibility for direction of MedDRA, an ICH standardised dictionary of medical terminology. The Board oversees the activities of the MedDRA “Maintenance and Support Services Organisation” (MSSO), which serves as the repository, maintainer, developer and distributor of MedDRA. The Management Board is composed of the six ICH Parties (EU, EFPIA, MHLW, JPMA, FDA, PhRMA), the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the UK, the Health Canada and the WHO (as Observer). The IFPMA acts as a non-voting observer on the Management Board and chairs the Board.
