Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Centres (Amcs)

Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Centres (Amcs)

The National Coordinating Centre (NCC) - Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), Ghaziabad has approved Shri Shankaracharya College of Pharmaceutical Sciences (SSCPS), Bhilai as Adverse Drug Reactions Monitoring Centre (AMCs).

Background

The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), New Delhi, under the aegis of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India has initiated a nation-wide pharmacovigilance programme in July, 2010, with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi as the National Coordinating Centre (NCC) for monitoring Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) in the country to safe-guard Public Health. In year 2010, 22 ADR monitoring centres (AMCs) including AIIMS, New Delhi had been set up under this Programme. To ensure implementation of this programme in a more effective way, the National Coordinating Centre was then shifted from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi to the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), Ghaziabad, (U.P.) in April, 2011.

The mission of Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) is to safeguard the health of the Indian population by ensuring that the benefit of use of medicine outweighs the risks associated with its use. Since there exist considerable social and economic consequences of adverse drug reactions and the positive benefit/cost ratio of implementing appropriate risk management - there is a need to engage healthcare professionals and the public at large, in a well structured programme to build synergies for monitoring adverse drug reactions in the country.

The purpose of the PvPI is to collate data, analyze it and use the inferences to recommend informed regulatory interventions, besides communicating risks to healthcare professionals and the public. The broadened patient safety scope of pharmacovigilance includes the detection of medicines of substandard quality as well as prescribing, dispensing and administration errors. Counterfeiting, antimicrobial resistance, and the need for real time surveillance in mass vaccinations are other pharmacovigilance challenges which need to be addressed.

 Scope and Objectives

·         To create a nation-wide system for patient safety reporting

·         To identify and analyze new signal from the reported cases

·         To analyze the benefit - risk ratio of marketed medications

·         To generate evidence based information on safety of medicines

·         To support regulatory agencies in the decision-making process on use of medications

·         To communicate the safety information on use of medicines to various stakeholders to minimize the risk

·         To emerge as a national centre of excellence for pharmacovigilance activities

·         To collaborate with other national centres for the exchange of information and data management

·         To provide training and consultancy support to other national pharmacovigilance centres across globe

·         To promote rational use of medicine
