    • FDA’s strategic priorities in responding to the public health challenges of the 21st century are to advance regulatory science and innovation; strengthen the safety and integrity of the global supply chain; strengthen compliance and enforcement activities to support public health; expand efforts to meet the needs of special populations; advance medical countermeasures and emergency preparedness; advance food safety and nutrition; promote public health by advancing the safety and effectiveness of medical products; establish an effective tobacco regulation, prevention, and control program; and manage for organizational excellence and accountability. The Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee supports FDA's strategic priorities by reviewing and evaluating data concerning the safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products for use in the treatment of anesthesia and treatment of pain and makes appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
