About the role

Since 1968, over 40 million reports have been collected by more than 155 national pharmacovigilance centres worldwide as members of the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring. The global diversity of VigiBase makes it a crucial source of data for identifying early safety signals and conducting pharmacovigilance research.
