Frequently Asked Questions
Why has the World Drug Safety Congress switched to the World Patient Safety Congress?
For over 15 years, we have been the definitive meeting place for the global pharmacovigilance community. Today, we are evolving to put the patient at the heart of the safety narrative.
Our mission is to integrate regulatory compliance with breakthrough technology to solve safety challenges across the entire human and animal health spectrum. In an era of rapid digital transformation, we bridge the gap between technical pharmacovigilance and a holistic patient experience by uniting experts from Pharma, Biotech, MedTech, and Consumer Health to solve the world’s most complex safety challenges.
By introducing these new perspectives, we will gain fresh insights into AI and automation technologies that make our safety processes more efficient.
