Uppsala Monitoring Centre

The Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) is an organization that collects and analyzes reports about medicines causing unexpected side effects or adverse reactions. Its goal is to improve patient safety by monitoring the safety of medicines globally. UMC gathers information from health authorities and healthcare providers worldwide, identifying potential risks and helping regulators make informed decisions. Through this work, they support the safe use of medicines and contribute to public health by detecting patterns that might indicate problems with certain drugs early on.
