The World Patient Safety Day

World Patient Safety Day, observed annually on September 17th, is a global initiative to raise awareness about the importance of safe healthcare practices. It aims to prevent harm to patients during medical care, whether in hospitals, clinics, or other health settings. The day encourages healthcare providers, patients, and governments to work together to improve safety measures, reduce medical errors, and promote a culture of openness and continuous improvement. Ultimately, it highlights that everyone deserves safe, high-quality healthcare, and that safety is a shared responsibility across the entire health system.
