Risk communication is an important component of quality risk management as described in the ICH Q9. It has not received as much consideration as the other parts of Q9. Risk communication must be made more effective – our risk decisions depend on the quality of our communication. Better risk communication will result in better decisions ultimately contributing to patients receiving medicinal products with the high levels of quality, safety, and purity that they deserve.
