The South-South Zonal Pharmacovigilance Centre is responsible for contacting all the local pharmacovigilance committee and centres in the south-south geo-political zone of Nigeria for the purpose of distribution, collection, collation of ADR forms to the health facilities in the zone as well as dissemination of information from the National Pharmacovigilance Centre (NPC) and other safety messages. We also monitor progress of pharmacovigilance activities at institutional and zonal levels.

The Zonal Centre also supports training and capacity building in pharmacovigilance in the South-South Zone and liaises with the pharmacovigilance zonal coordinator of the National Drug Safety Advisory Committee on all pharmacovigilance related issues.

We also receive reports of therapeutic infectiveness, acute and chronic poisoning, medication error, substandard and falsified medications, as well as vaccines.
