Though the underreporting of ADRs, especially medicine-related deaths, is an important issue, and some indicators' status was unclear. The Iranian pharmacovigilance program requires a higher prioritization, particularly in the PHPs, a greater allocation of resources, and cross-sectoral cooperation to bolster and achieve the pharmacovigilance objectives.
