The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) hosted a webinar on the practical reporting of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) using the Med Safety App.

Building on the AEFI webinars conducted in April 2026, this interactive session was designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge, confidence, and practical skills in reporting suspected ADRs and adverse events following immunisation (AEFIs). Through live demonstrations and case-based examples, participants learned how to submit complete and meaningful reports using the Med Safety App and understood their important role in strengthening medicine safety surveillance.
