It is designed to be simple and can be understood by any worker in pharmacovigilance without formal training in monitoring and evaluation.

The indicators proposed in this manual are based on the expected functions of pharmacovigilance centres as described in the WHO Mimimum Requirements for a Functional Pharmacovigilance System (1) (see Annex 1 of the manual).
