Description
Ghadah Assiri and eight co-authors set a shared research agenda for medication safety across the Gulf states, in this 2026 consensus study. Drug reactions and errors harm patients worldwide, and the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries had programs but no agreed research priorities. Thirty-eight experts from all six countries rated candidate priorities in two survey rounds.
Consensus crystallized around thirty-five priorities, three quarters of those proposed. Agreement ran highest on topics about health professionals, then medicines, patients, and systems. Top concerns included tackling inappropriate use of many drugs at once, designing systems around human factors, home safety, and stronger reporting and surveillance. The authors offer the list to guide funding and policy, so regional research pulls in one direction rather than fragmenting.
