Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate a group of health professionals' knowledge, attitudes, and practices on phar-macovigilance in the context of COVID-19 in the Peruvian Social Health Insurance (EsSalud). A des-criptive secondary analysis was performed on a database that included responses from an online survey conducted by the Institutional Reference Center for Pharmacovigilance and Technovigilance of EsSalud. Of 144 participants, 66% showed a high level of knowledge and 81.2% a positive attitude; however, 71.5% had an inadequate level of pharmacovigilance practice. Although EsSalud professionals demonstrated a high level of knowledge and positive attitude to implement pharmacovigilance, this is not reflected in the practice of this activity during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Strategies should be employed to integrate pharmacovigilance into healthcare activities to benefit patient safety.
