Background: WHO pharmacovigilance indicators have been recommended as a useful tool for the assessment of pharmacovigilance (PV) activities. These activities are included reporting of adverse reactions (ADR), which are considered one the main cause of mortality, charges and hospital admissions and longer nosocomial stay. The present study evaluated Ricardo Palma’s pharmacovigilance activities, from its inception in 2017 to December 2020, with a view towards describing its status and providing recommendations for improvement. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among pharmaceutical personnel involved in pharmacovigilance activities. Data were collected using WHO pharmacovigilance indicators. The language of the assessment was phrased and adapted in this study for use in a general clinical setting. Data are presented both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: The clinic did not have a pharmacovigilance centre with delimited physical accommodation, the pharmacovigilance staff is part-time. Only 2 pharmacovigilance trainings have been conducted. It should be noted that they have a standard internal a national notification form. The number of annual ADR notification in the database ranger from 67 to 69, with 2019 being the year with the most ADR report (100), being mostly mild in severity. There is no active pharmacovigilance and so far, no internal safety signal have been generated, however national and international signals and/ or regulatory actions are disseminated and complied with. There was poor documentation of activities that could provide evidence of compliance with some items of the evaluation indicators. Conclusion: The study showed the important need to strengthen the pharmacovigilance activities of the CRP. Pharmacovigilance excelled most in structural indicators, while there were major shortcomings in the assessment of process and impact indicators, and improvements are need in these areas.
