Global Medication Safety Week Awareness

In conjunction with the Global Medication Safety Week and under the auspices of both the Community Service and Environmental Development Committee at the Faculty of Pharmacy, MSA University, and the Pharmacovigilance Association in Egypt, the fifth-level students who are currently taking the “Pharmacovigilance” course at the Faculty carried out an awareness campaign about the importance of reporting side effects of all kinds of medications, especially serious and unusual side effects, as well as simple side effects.

This awareness campaign assured that all members of society must report the side effects of medicines, not just the medical teams, in order to make medicines safer for everyone.

The students have spread awareness on a large scale starting from our university campus all the way to many pharmacies around Egypt.
