The International Society of Pharmacovigilance, ISOP, has been created for sharing and spreading knowledge and expertise, especially through National/Regional Chapters.

The project of ISoP ISRAEL has started in January 2013 and was endorsed by the ISoP President and by the President of Tel Aviv University. Then the creation of the Israeli Chapter of ISoP was officially announced in October 2014 at the Annual Meeting in Tianjin (China).

Vision

ISoP ISRAEL has the mission to combine and utilize all existing strengths to improve pharmacovigilance and to raise it to the highest international standards to the benefit to all:

• The academia through research, developing tools and education
• The industry through identifying their needs and providing their experience
• The regulatory agency through the evaluation, framing and translation of all regulations
  

ISoP Israel chapter objectives are

• Improve and harmonize pharmacovigilance systems in Israel
• Increase awareness on patient’s safety
• Gather all stakeholders
• Be a think-tank
• Support a mechanism for data sharing between all stakeholders and Ministry of Health
• Use epidemiology tools for risk detection and to support the research and development of new tools and technologies
  

The Chapter will achieve this goal through:

• An educational program:
  • For healthcare professionals and general public
  • Integration of pharmacovigilance courses in medical, paramedical and pharmacist studies
  • Academic specialization course
• Exchange knowledge, technology and experience with other countries and regions through organization of workshops, symposium

• ISoP ISRAEL has the ambition to foster a unique and original pharmacovigilance system which will be shared with the international community

Israel can rely on unique strengths and skills which must unite and share their results, especially:

• Koupot Holim with their comprehensive and large epidemiologic databases

ISOP ISRAEL has the ambition to foster a unique and original Pharmacovigilance system which will be shared with the international community.
