Nigeria located in Western Africa, bordering the Gulf of Guinea, between Benin and Cameroon
Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS• Since 1986 when the first AIDS case was
detected in Nigeria, the epidemic has rapidly grown.
• The adult HIV prevalence has increased from 1.8% in 1991 to 4.5% in 1996 to 5.8% in 2001 and finally 5.0% at the end of 2003.
• Estimates using the 2001 HIV seroprevalence sentinel survey of women attending ante-natal clinics indicate that the more than 3.5 million Nigerians were infected with the virus in 2002.
The National ART Programme
• By the middle of 2004, approximately 13,500 people were receiving ARV treatment from these centres and many more were on waiting lists.
• In 2001 the Federal Government of Nigeria adopted a policy to provide antiretroviral treatment to people living with HIV/AIDS in the country.
• Implementation of the program began in 2002 with 25 centres selected to provide ART in various parts of the country.

Treatment Needs
Out of this, between 300,000 to 700,000 people are in urgent need of treatment.
The epidemic has extended beyond the commonly classified high-risk groups to the general population.
As at the end of 2001, at least three and a half million people are living with HIV/AIDS, which is expected to rise to well over four million in 2008. Cumulative deaths by 2008 are predicted to be between 3.6 to 4.2 million.

?Is there any Safety Monitoring in your Country
• Address the issues of counterfeit drugs and other regulatory products through
-Public Enlightenment Campaigns-monitoring of Good Manufacturing
Practices, -beefing up surveillance at the ports
-Mopping-up fake / counterfeit drugs and other regulated products
• What we have is post marketing surveillance, which is the responsibility of NAFDAC
The Future
The launching of Pharmacovigilance on the 9th of September will initiate drug safety monitoring with special emphasis on ADRs
Conclusion -Pharmacovigilance in
NigeriaWe are compiling Sample reports to get fully registered with the Uppsala Monitoring CenterDraft Guidelines for Pharmacovigilance has been developed
Draft case reporting forms have been developed
On the 9th of September the official launching will take place
