5 CONCLUSION
In summary, this observational study indicated that Yemeni community
pharmacists have a positive attitude and that the degree of knowledge is
acceptable, but still requires improvement. Despite the positive
attitude and the degree of knowledge, several obstacles prevent the
proper application of PV and ADR reporting systems in Yemen. This
shortcoming can be overcome by education intervention, training, and
promoting the PV program. The Ministry of Health and Population
alongside the academic sector should start applications for education
programs to help CPs as well as pharmacy students acquire the essential
concepts and practice regarding PV and reporting systems. Promotion of
the role of CPs in future PV systems will help improve patient’s
healthcare and safety.
