DJIBOUTI: Somalia and Djibouti are demonstrating that it is feasible to create systems that safeguard public health and build trust, even in difficult and complex situations. Both nations have made significant progress by implementing national pharmacovigilance systems, which are essential for monitoring and ensuring the safety of medications. In Djibouti, the SLL program aims to enhance the national pharmacovigilance framework by creating a specialized unit, introducing digital reporting platforms, and improving oversight. These proactive investments go beyond mere systems and processes; they represent a change in perspective, where medical safety is viewed as a collective responsibility and a fundamental aspect of national health priorities.
- Lord, we pray for the continued success of the national pharmacovigilance systems in Somalia and Djibouti, that they may effectively safeguard public health and promote trust in medical practices (The Holy Bible, Deuteronomy 7:15).
- Lord, we pray that leaders and citizens in both nations embrace the view of medical safety as a collective responsibility, fostering collaboration and commitment to health as a national priority (The Holy Bible, Hebrews 10:24).
