Opening Message
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library in London, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset's Body Type sheets. It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised thanks to these sheets and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker and Microsoft Word including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Quality Manual
Building One Standard of Excellence Across EthicaOur Quality Commitments
Within the GE, the Quality department isn't just limited to a control role: it’s a strategic partner for operational teams (Sales, Marketing, Pharmacovigilance, Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs) by taking on the following roles: Supporting the implementation and application of procedures Facilitating rather than blocking by helping teams find compliant solutions without compromising adherence Acting as a mediator between business requirements and regulatory requirements by translating them into understandable and practical terms for field teams Driving continuous improvement through root cause analysis of deviations and implementing CAPAs. For this, a Quality Model approved by GE Management has been put in place.
What is the MQ
A framework document that describes the Quality Management System within the GE. All SOPs and Ways of Working are linked to this reference document.
It helps communicate not only internally (by making the approved Quality policy and objectives known to all staff) but also externally (by showing clients the GE’s Quality commitment to meet various regulatory requirements through control of our processes).
Purpose & Vision
A shared quality culture: making quality a common goal for all departments and regions of the GE Operational excellence to contribute to customer satisfaction through process mastery Embedding the GE in a continuous improvement mindset

Pharmacovigilance
Christelle ACHY-BROU
Pharmacovigilance Department Head
A collective responsibility in the service of patient safety
At ETHICA, patient safety guides everything we do. Pharmacovigilance plays a key role in this commitment by helping to identify, assess, and better prevent risks related to the use of medications. Since the beginning of the year, the Pharmacovigilance Department has launched an awareness campaign among employees to strengthen the culture of pharmacovigilance and remind everyone of their important role in the drug monitoring system.
Through these communications, employees have been made aware of the basics of pharmacovigilance: recognizing safety information, identifying a pharmacovigilance case, understanding the importance of reporting any suspected adverse effects, and providing the necessary information within the required 24-hour timeframe.
To make this process easier, the internal system for reporting pharmacovigilance cases was also presented. The reporting form, as well as the dedicated email pharmacovigilance@groupe-ethica.com, were shared to allow for a simple, fast, and effective way to submit safety information.
The key message of this initiative is important: pharmacovigilance is everyone's responsibility. Any employee might receive information about an adverse effect. Each person's vigilance and the quick sharing of received information help reinforce the monitoring of drugs from our partner laboratories, protect patients, and maintain the trust they place in us.
Through this approach, the Pharmacovigilance Department is pursuing an essential goal: increasing understanding of pharmacovigilance issues and strengthening everyone's contribution to patient safety.
