The future of ADR reporting in Yemen
Regarding the future of the ADR reporting system in Yemen (see Table 6), 57% of the CPs (n=257) supported the direct reporting by the patients instead of healthcare professionals. The majority of the participants (80%, n=346) envisaged the role of information technology in facilitating ADR reporting as well as maintaining an online program or website for reporting ADRs. Around 81% (n=364) of the CPs believed that the relevant authority in Yemen should maintain an online program or website like other countries bearing records of the ADRs reported throughout the nation. Approximately 52% (n=232) thought that the online program/website should be freely accessible to everyone. About 75% of the participants (n=338) believed that the information related to the procedure of reporting ADRs should be provided compulsorily to pharmacists at their workplace.
