title: [The role of agencies in the development of health policy].
abstract: Over period of less than ten years, public health administration has undergone considerable changes. New bodies have been set up: the Agencies. Various regulations have come into force and evaluation, vigilance and control procedures have been put in place. Public health safety has become an integral part of health policy. The medicine agency plays a peculiar role in this new system, both in terms of the wide state powers with which it has been invested and in terms of the international framework of which it is part.
