Uppsala Monitoring Centre
Uppsala Monitoring Centre is an independent, non-profit foundation and a centre for international service and scientific research in the field of pharmacovigilance. We advance the safety of patients by exploring and understanding the risks and benefits of medicines, with the ultimate aim of helping patients and physicians make wise therapeutic decisions. For more than 40 years, we have provided scientific leadership and operational support to the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring, expanding the global pharmacovigilance network to reach more than 95% of the world’s population. We create partnerships that bring together resources, expertise, and a shared vision of patient safety. Today, we continue to build a global drug safety culture by supporting and engaging all pharmacovigilance stakeholders, from national centres to regulators, academia and the pharma industry.
