ProPharma has been a significant part of my life, I have been with the company for eleven years now. I work as a Program Manager in Medical Information, and I manage a team of Drug Safety Assistants across the EU.

Our work in this area, along with the other services we provide, plays a vital role in safeguarding patients from the risk of receiving any harmful products.
