Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to “Project 3-S: Smart Safety Surveillance”

Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution (c)
Project 3-S: Smart Safety Surveillance
It is a project focused on optimizing pharmacovigilance (PV) systems in low-middle and middle-income countries (LMICs) across the globe by:
- Developing an advocacy and communications strategy for the next 3 years.
- Identifying, securing and promoting representation at prominent global health events and platforms where 3-S advocacy activities can be launched.
- Generating supportive marketing materials, including publications
WHO has been prodding countries to adopt the 3S programme, with the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to strengthen pharmacovigilance systems in developing nations.
The central government will expand the reach of the Smart Safety Surveillance, or 3S, programme, to optimize post-marketing surveillance of priority drugs and vaccines, and ensure the vaccines distributed under the universal immunization programme are safe.
The 3S project was recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), considering the limited safety data on vaccines introduced in India.
As part of the 3S project, India is evaluating the recently-introduced rotavirus vaccines. It is also trying to strengthen the collaboration among key stakeholders, such as ministry of health and Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), to ensure high levels of vigilance.
