The Zentralstelle der Länder für Gesundheitsschutz bei Arzneimitteln und Medizinprodukten (ZLG) is a German institution that coordinates cooperation between the federal states on health protection issues. It plays an important role in the harmonization and monitoring of standards for medicinal products and medical devices in Germany. The ZLG supports state authorities in the surveillance, approval, and certification of products and processes in the medical field to ensure safety and efficacy. Through this coordinated approach, the ZLG contributes to ensuring high-quality standards in health protection.
