Scope
The scope of this blog to easy identification of the country of incidence solely through ICSR case IDs. Its practical utility is particularly beneficial for the team engaged in case book-in procedures.
However, the appeal of this blog extends beyond the realm of pharmacovigilance, catering to the curiosity of the general population at large.
📢 Recommendation:
In connection with country codes, I suggest a blog that explains the
importance of the country of incidence in case processing.
