The initiative is the result of ten (10) years of collaboration among several stakeholders in the health and education sec- tors. The network is managed by a committee of representatives from several entities, and was officially launched on Friday, May 13, 2005 during the inaugural Poison Prevention Week.

CARPIN is actively involved in educating students within the School in poison prevention strategies and accessing information on poison prevention. The Drug Information Service Unit which shares office with CARPIN has been joined as a unit to carry out the mission of the School of Pharmacy.
