Pharmacovigilance in APAC: An Update and Focus on India (PvPI)

Increases in drug safety concerns in recent years due to some high profile drug withdrawals have led to a reevaluation of the pharmacovigilance process by stakeholders and more importantly, by regulatory authorities. The increase in the number of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) reported concomitantly resulted in an increase in the volume of data handled.

How can the industry take on such challenges? To understand the pharmacovigilance process a high level of expertise is required to rapidly detect drug risks and to defend the product against an inappropriate removal. Proactive pharmacovigilance throughout the product life cycle is the way forward and the future direction for drug safety in the APAC region.

This webinar will focus on APAC and the following topics:

• Understanding GVP – New GVP Guideline by EMA & its impact
• Patient Data Collection System – Reviewing the challenges of complying with changing country regulations in Asia/India
• Overview and major achievements of PvPI ( Pharmacovigilance Program of India)
