Who are We?
The Iraqi Pharmacovigilance Center, within the Ministry of Health / Directorate of Technical Affairs, and as part of the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring (PIDM), is the national authority responsible for monitoring the safety of medicinal products in Iraq. The Center receives and analyzes reports of adverse drug reactions, medication errors, and other drug-related problems, detects early safety signals, and takes risk-minimization actions, including appropriate regulatory measures in coordination with the relevant health authorities, to promote the safe and rational use of medicines and protect public health.
