Development of Sustainable HIV/TB Active Surveillance System in Swaziland – Protocol and Operational Plan

A pharmacovigilance system, through active surveillance in sentinel sites, is proposed to monitor the safety and tolerability of antiretroviral medicines (ARV) and anti-tuberculosis (TB) medicines at antiretroviral treatment (ART) clinics and TB clinics in Swaziland. The goal of this activity is to develop, implement, and demonstrate the local feasibility of a practical and sustainable pharmacovigilance system that could later be scaled up to monitor the safety of ARV and TB regimens throughout the country.
