ADR reporting in the workplace (practice)
Concerning whether the respondents had observed any cases of ADR in their practice, nearly 49% (n=222) responded with yes, and approximately 37% (n=166) said no. Only 25% of the CPs (n=55) reported the ADRs to the HOD of their institute, and 13% (n=28) to the SBMDA. The majority of the participants (84%, n=377) declared that there was no reporting form available at their workplace. Most of them (69%, n=309) responded with no when asked if their workplace provides information regarding the reporting procedure. Meanwhile, 57% of them (n=254) felt that they did not have enough training in ADR reporting. Regarding whether the workplace encouraged the reporting of ADRs, the responses of the participants were distributed nearly equally between yes and no. Regarding the problems encountered while reporting ADRs in the workplace, 59% (n=266) answered that ADRs reporting in Yemen is not widely promoted by the relevant authorities, and 57% (n=256) replied that a lack of information provided by the patient is an obstacle in the reporting system. The detail findings on practice can be found in Table 4.
