IPC provides training to 30 participants to develop effective & sustainable PV practices for WHO-PIDM member countries

In order to develop effective and sustainable pharmacovigilance practices for member countries of the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring (WHO-PIDM), the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) has trained 30 participants from countries like Sweden, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Congo, Swaziland, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Maldives, Botswana, Oman, Philippines, Malaysia, Ethiopia and India to build capacity in pharmacovigilance (PV) for promoting safe use of medicines.

The training programme, 5th Asia Pacific Pharmacovigilance Training Course which recently concluded, was aimed at integrating the public health programmes of member countries with PV activities towards drug safety.

The training was well received as the participants were acquainted on basic knowledge and understanding the concept of pharmacovigilance. Overall this training programme will be useful in strengthening pharmacovigilance activity at their respective organizations/countries in order to protect the safety and well being of the patients.

The international pharmacovigilance experts from WHO, WHO Collaborating Centres, MHRA, UMC, Drug Regulatory Authorities, academic institutions, IPC and the pharmaceutical industries were part of the programme.

The training imparted was tailored to regional needs and addressed challenges unique to PV. The purpose of the course is to further develop effective and sustainable pharmacovigilance practices for member countries of the WHO-PIDM and individuals involved in the field by creating a unique opportunity for learning and collaboration.

Dr G N Singh, Secretary-cum-Scientific Director, IPC stressed on the dire need of pharmacovigilance training and technical support to WHO member countries besides ensuring sustainable pharmacovigilance development in India. The programme is very relevant and important as IPC got the active support of Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC), Sweden, he added.

IPC has been assigned to update information on ADR data that is being reported in India from across all its centres through Vigiflow software to the UMC in Sweden, which is WHO's collaborating centre for international drug monitoring.

As a part of its initiatives in PV, IPC has designed a road map to support South East Asia Regulatory Network (SEARN) nation countries towards integrating their public health programmes with PV for drug safety.

UMC was the first WHO Collaborating Centre to be established for PV when, in 1978, the scientific and technical responsibility of the WHO programme for international drug monitoring was transferred to Sweden.
