The Collaboration between National AIDS control organization (NACO) & Pharmacovigilance Program of India (PvPI) is aimed to work with periphery ART centres to monitor the safety of ART drugs & also to initiate the Cohort Event Monitoring (CEM) thus to perform the benefitrisk assessment of ART drugs, however there are some technical & operational issues in implementing the program & identifying the risk related to ART drugs. Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities relating to detection, assessment, understanding and prevention adverse effects or any other possible drug related problems.
