World Patient Safety Day, 17 September 2026.
The WHO theme this year is safe care for noncommunicable diseases: people with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease or cancer take medicines for years, often several at once.
That is exactly where pharmacovigilance and drug safety monitoring matter most.
Swipe to see how the pharmacovigilance team at MPCA International in Ghent works on patient safety every day: adverse event reporting and case processing, keeping the safety profile of every medicine up to date, signal detection and evaluation, and timely reporting to the competent authorities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. This is the daily work of an EU QPPV and local contact person for pharmacovigilance, not a theme day.
