In this festive edition of Drug Safety Matters, we wrap up the year that was and look ahead to the year that will be – with a little help from one of our friends.


What did the drug safety community achieve in 2023 and how will the field develop in 2024? As the year comes to a close, we asked Angela Caro, president of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance, to walk us through current and future trends in pharmacovigilance.

Among her predictions, hear her thoughts on patient engagement – a hot topic that is going to get hotter – as well as the challenges she foresees closest to home in Latin America.
