Abstract: To investigate the necessity and feasibility of establishing basic-level adverse drug reaction sentinel surveillance, formulate the safety supervision policy of essential medicines in our province. The research adopts the questionnaire survey, on-the-spot inspection, seminar, statistical analysis, summarization to understand the basic-level ADR monitoring status. All of the subjects agree on establishing basic-level adverse drug reaction sentinel surveillance, but the organization, personnel and funds are the critical factors which hamper the sustainable development of sentinel surveillance. From this study, we think that it is feasible to establish basic-level adverse drug reaction sentinel surveillance in our province.

Key words: basic-level, essential drugs, adverse reaction, sentinel surveillance, study
