Overview
In 1950 WHO established the INN Programme to provide a common language for people all over the world to work together for the safe and effective use of medicines.
The main objective of the programme is to define a single, unique, globally accepted name for each pharmaceutical substance.
The INN Programme is now launching a virtual school to mainstream INN and contribute to better treatment outcomes and patient safety globally.
