WHO - UMC & INDIA

The Uppsala Monitoring Centre is responsible for the collection of data about adverse
drug reactions from around the world, especially from countries that are members of
the WHO including India.
Member countries send their reports to the Uppsala Monitoring Centre where they are
processed, evaluated and entered into the WHO International Database.
When there are several reports of adverse reactions to a particular drug this process
may lead to the detection of a signal — an alert about a possible hazard and will be
communicated to member countries.
This happens only after detailed evaluation & expert review. These ADR reports are
assessed locally and may lead to action within the country.

Through membership of The WHO International Drug Monitoring Program, a country


can know if similar reports are being made elsewhere.
