The Role of Pharmacovigilance Center in Sudan in Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions
Abstract
Pharmacovigilance is an active discipline, which is the study of structured mechanisms of the safety of medicines being used in clinical situations in large populations. In this chapter, the authors attempt to characterize the different types of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and related problems and mechanisms by which they cause harm to patients. They investigate the methods of detection of ADRs and various pharmacovigilance methods. The role and contributions of international organizations will be presented. The authors present the importance and need for education of healthcare professionals about pharmacovigilance and the proper reporting of ADRs for the purpose of efficient and safe use of medicines. The establishment of the Sudan pharmacovigilance center and how the system works will be discussed. Sources of data and actions taken since its inception are presented. The authors conclude by highlighting the problems and weaknesses of the system and ways to strengthen it.
