Since no medication is completely safe, many of them are associated with multiple adverse reactions that may affect patients' health in terms of morbidity and, even worse, mortality. These concerns greatly increase the importance of reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which highlights the essential role of pharmacovigilance (PV) centers. This study was performed at Children's Cancer Hospital using a validated questionnaire; to collect information on healthcare professionals' demographics and their knowledge of, attitudes toward and practices in PV; analyze reasons for the the under-reporting of ADRs; and recommend possible ways to improve reporting. The majority of the healthcare professionals had poor knowledge and practice of PV and ADR reporting, which clearly explains the huge gap between ADRs experienced and ADRs reported. However, they have a positive attitude toward PV and ADR reporting.
