Abstract
Basic structures for conducting pharmacovigilance activities are in place in Ghana. However, a need exists to develop a comprehensive pharmacovigilance system that should comprise more than adverse events data collection. It should include evaluation, minimization, and communication of risks. Several interventions were recommended for improving the regulations, organizational structures, and processes and for establishing a comprehensive pharmacovigilance system.
