A closer look at the legislative proposals on pharmacovigilance

Public health disasters remind us how essential it is to have an effective and proactive pharmacovigilance system to guarantee the safety of EU citizens. According to the European Commission, adverse drug reactions are responsible for at least 5% of hospital admissions and are the fifth ranking cause of hospital deaths.
In December 2008 the Commission put forward proposals for new legislation governing Pharmacovigilance in Europe. In co-operation with MEPs Linda Mc Avan, Philippe Juvin, Antonyia Parvanova and Michèle Rivasi, this meeting will discuss...
-What are the consequences of the European Commission's Pharmacovigilance proposals for patient safety?
- What is the most effective approach for dealing with pharmacovigilance data?
- How can we strengthen decision-making and patient safety in Europe?
