Resource: A blueprint for strengthening pharmacovigilance systems in resource-limited countries
Many national regulatory agencies in sub-Saharan Africa, which have responsibility for drug safety, lack the expertise, critical mass and infrastructure to monitor drug safety effectively during clinical trials and after licensing. The PhArmacoVIgilance Africa (PAVIA) project, implemented during the period 2018-2022 in Eswatini, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Tanzania, set out to strengthen pharmacovigilance in the African context. PAVIA incorporated the lessons and best practices from the project into a 'Blueprint for strengthening pharmacovigilance systems in resource-limited countries', and published the project’s outputs on The Global Health Network.
