Executive Summary
Brazil's healthcare products regulatory agency, Anvisa, is continuing its efforts to raise awareness of its new Notivisa healthcare vigilance and surveillance programme (see Clinica No 1198, p 13). The Brasilia-based agency hosted yesterday, in Sao Paulo city, the conference "Notivisa, a new paradigm in healthcare vigilance". Focusing specifically on the electronic reporting of adverse events and technical faults involving medical products, the meeting was addressed primarily at the medical staff and healthcare industry bodies and associations in three of the country's five regions, namely the south, southeast and centrewest.
