Pharmacovigilance Services in Vietnam

The National Center of Drug Information and Adverse Drug Reactions Monitoring centre (NDIADRMC) of the Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for pharmacovigilance services in Vietnam. This centre carries out the administrative functions of collecting, analyzing, and evaluating the adverse events reports from various sources and updating the PV database. It also assesses the benefit-risk balance and communicates drug-related risks. Until now NDIADRMC has been focusing on reporting ADR from healthcare professionals, national public health programs, and pharmaceutical companies to avoid misleading information from consumers and community pharmacists. In addition, pharmaceutical companies are required to submit a Periodic Safety Update Report, a Periodic Benefit Risk Evaluation Report, or a Safety Report along with a summary safety report in the Vietnamese language including details of both foreign and domestic ICSRs. ADRs can be reported online through the official NDIADRMC website specially deployed for ADR reporting.
