Abstract:
Since its inception in 2006, the South Asian College, Affiliate of the American College of Clinical Pharmacology (SAC-ACCP), headquartered in Mumbai, India, has fostered the discipline, emphasizing education, training and dialogue across academia, regulators, and industry. The 2026 Annual Conference, themed "Think Global Act Local," covered topics ranging from Artificial Intelligence in healthcare to the Genome India project and multi‑regional clinical trials, reflecting India's strategic maturation as it moves decisively from participation to co-leadership in global drug development. This Commentary highlights the proceedings of this summit, celebrating India's emergence as a globally visible leader in biomedical research and drug development at a key milestone of the 20th Anniversary of SAC-ACCP.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
