MedSafetyWeek 2026 global campaign
Overview
The MedSafetyWeek 2026 global campaign, running from November 2 to November 8, is an initiative coordinated by the Uppsala Monitoring Centre and supported by the World Health Organization and the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities. The campaign involves over 130 organizations across more than 120 countries, urging patients and healthcare professionals to report suspected adverse drug reactions to improve drug safety monitoring.
In Greece, the National Organization for Medicines (EOF) is participating in the campaign. EOF president Spyros Sapounas noted that reports through the Yellow Card system have quadrupled compared to the period before the Covid-19 vaccination campaign. The Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association (PFS) also supports the initiative, with General Secretary Manolis Katsarakis emphasizing that even seemingly insignificant symptoms should be reported to help identify potential risks.
