A refresher training session titled “Pharmacovigilance and Materiovigilance – What, Where and How to Report” was organized for postgraduate students. The session was conducted by Dr. Gitty Thimothy and focused on revisiting the practical aspects of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting and materiovigilance practices.

The program included interactive discussions and real-life case scenarios that helped participants understand the importance of accurate documentation, timely reporting, and effective communication within the pharmacovigilance system. A total of 33 postgraduate students attended the session and actively participated in the learning activities.

A continuation session was conducted on the following day for the remaining 16 postgraduate students. The class involved the review of previously reported ADR cases and discussions on strategies to improve the completeness, quality, and accuracy of future pharmacovigilance reports. The sessions collectively reinforced the importance of systematic reporting practices in strengthening patient safety initiatives and institutional pharmacovigilance activities.
