As of January 2023, the reports containing monthly figures for human medicines also include the:

number of opinions on companion diagnostics medical devices.

Please note that the monthly figures listed on this page only cover human medicines. For monthly evaluation figures on veterinary medicines, see the monthly reports of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) on CVMP: Agendas, minutes and reports.
