Pharmacovigilance & Adverse Drug Reactions in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling ADR occurrence, reporting cascades, PV system capacity, and medication errors across three healthcare settings in SSA. Massive underreporting exists — <10% of ADRs reported in most SSA countries. Inadequate training and deficient reporting culture are key barriers.
