GCC Medication Safety Congress

The issue of patient safety has recently risen to become top priority with global awareness fostered by the World Health Organization’s World Alliance for Patient Safety. Therefore, it is receiving tremendous coverage in medical literature as well as in the media. Reports indicate that medication errors exist in abundance, but only a portion of them are reported.

The GCC Medication Safety Congress, co-located with the GCC Pharmaceutical Congress, will help bring back vital focus on the relevance of pharmacovigilance, identification and reporting of adverse events, medication reconciliation and many other measures in the pursuit of patient safety.

The congress will familiarise attendees with the medication safety systems internationally and in the Gulf. Highlighting fundamentals of medication errors, the congress covers a variety of topics including improving medication safety infrastructure, medication reconciliation, psychotropic agent safety, expedited reporting, dealing with high alert medication and more. It will focus on promoting dialogue amongst regulators, medical professionals and pharmaceutical companies to ensure patient safety in the MENA region.
