The 5th National Pharmacovigilance Week Celebration was inaugurated at Meenakshi Medical College Hospital and Research Institute (MMCHRI), Kanchipuram, with a walkathon held on 17th September 2025. Themed “Your Safety, Just a Click Away – Report to PvPI”, the event aimed to raise awareness on the critical role of reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) through the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI).
Healthcare students and professionals from MMCHRI actively participated in the walkathon, carrying banners and placards to spread the message of responsible ADR reporting. To further strengthen the outreach, pharmacovigilance posters were displayed across the campus, motivating healthcare workers and the general public to stay informed and engaged.
The initiative emphasized the importance of collective responsibility in ensuring patient safety and strengthening pharmacovigilance practices nationwide.
