Delivering Full QPPV Services with a Global Network of Local Experts

A Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV) is personally responsible, by law, for the safety of the human pharmaceutical products marketed in the EU. The QPPV must reside in the EU and provide global support through a network of in-house and local QPPVs.

When selecting a QPPV partner, it is important to choose one with access to top local experts who can offer scalable and customized solutions tailored to specific needs. At Navitas Life Sciences, we have a well-established network of local QPPVs who assist our clients in meeting local PV requirements. Our dedicated team delivers integrated, end-to-end solutions that extend beyond QPPV services to include comprehensive safety reporting, clear communications, and effective stakeholder support.
