About the Pharmacovigilance programme
Pharmacovigilance is the work of collecting, assessing and reporting the side effects of medicines once they are in use. Every pharmaceutical company and the service firms that support them need people who can process safety cases accurately, and Hyderabad is one of the main centres in India for this work.
This course takes you through a safety case from the moment a report arrives to the point it is ready for submission, so the first tasks you are given as a trainee are ones you have already practised.
