Pro-government says patients should report drug reactions before the November 8 campaign deadline
Serbia’s Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (ALIMS) and the Chamber of Commerce are asking citizens and healthcare workers to report suspected adverse drug reactions as part of the global MedSafetyWeek 2026 campaign.

Campaign appeal. The initiative calls on the public to act by November 8 under the slogan, “Do not ignore adverse reactions — report them.” Authorities say reports help regulators monitor medicine safety, identify potential risks and take measures to protect patients.

The appeal applies to both patients and medical professionals. Reports can be submitted to ALIMS through an online platform, either directly or via an application installed on a mobile device or computer, as well as through dedicated adverse-reaction forms.

Year-round reporting. A subsequent explanation clarified that November 8 is linked to the campaign, not a cutoff for reporting. Citizens “can report suspected adverse drug reactions throughout the entire year, and not only until November 8,” according to the guidance. They may file reports through ALIMS’s official website or consult a doctor or pharmacist.

ALIMS has so far recorded and processed more than 21,000 suspected adverse-reaction cases. The campaign materials say healthcare workers and patients have played the leading role in submitting those reports.
