The agency makes every effort to ensure that patients have fair access to care, backed up by a solid local network. The agency's regional departments coordinate actions in the field, regulate sampling, and provide training and awareness-raising for healthcare professionals. The agency has also set up regional steering of ministerial plans, in collaboration with regional health agencies, to provide a response tailored to specific local needs.
The Agence de la biomédecine relies on three bodies to carry out its missions in its areas of competence: a Steering Committee, a Board of Directors and a Medical and Scientific Council. Each of these bodies plays a distinct but complementary role in guiding, evaluating and regulating practices, within the framework of the French bioethics laws.
