Management Board
The Management Board sets the strategy defined by ANSM’s Director General’s in patients’ interest, and in line with the provisions of the Objectives and Performance Contract (COP) entered into with the French Ministry of Solidarity and Health. The COP is negotiated by the Director General of the Agency, and then submitted to the Management Board for validation.
The Management Board includes 27 members: most of these are members of parliament, healthcare professionals, and patient representatives. Votes are evenly distributed between government representatives (9 members and 18 votes) and the 18 other members (members of parliament and senators, representatives of French basic mandatory health care insurance schemes, members of other schemes, the French Medical Board and Board of Pharmacists, healthcare system user associations, qualified individuals in the Agency’s area of expertise, and members voting in an advisory capacity). They are appointed by the French Minister of Health, with the exception of staff representatives who are elected by ANSM staff. Their term lasts for three years and can be renewed once, except for members of parliament and senators, who leave the Board when their own chamber is replaced. The Management Board meets at least three times per year.
