Germany: DIMDI merges into BfArM
DIMDI (Deutsche Institut für Medizinische Dokumentation und Information) and BfArM (Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices) will join to become one agency on May 26th, 2020.
Once DIMDI is merged into BfArM, the name that has been in operation for 50 years will no longer be used.
Calls from previous DIMDI telephone numbers for a limited time will be redirected to the BfArM.
Current contact information can be found at any time at the top the DIMDI website. Until further notice, the website www.dimdi.de can be used to access all the services. Users will be redirected to the relevant new sites once changes have been implemented.
