Please be advised that two new EU expert groups for medical devices including IVDs are to be established for Paediatrics and for Rare diseases. These will be established and organised by EMA.
Interesting to see where Rare diseases and Paediatrics cross over as most rare diseases are detected, and have most opportunity to be impacted in paediatrics.
