Pharmacovigilance
Pharmaco-vigilance is a part of healthcare systems worldwide. The basic objective of Pharmaco-vigilance is the safe use of drugs, patient safety, and, ultimately, safeguarding public health.
The main goal of pharmacovigilance is thus to promote the safe and effective use of health products, in particular by providing timely information about the safety of health products to patients, health-care professionals, and the public.
To achieve this goal, national regulators and international organizations should empower healthcare professionals and the public to report more ADRs.
