Patient safety is an emerging healthcare area with the evolving complexity of healthcare systems and the consequent increase in patient harm in healthcare facilities. It is intended to prevent and reduce risks, errors and harm suffered by patients in providing medical care. The foundation of discipline is continuous improvement based on learning from mistakes and adverse events. Patient safety is fundamental to providing quality and essential health care services. Indeed, there is a clear consensus that quality healthcare services around the world should be effective, safe and people-centered. Furthermore, to benefit from quality health care, health services must be timely, equitable, integrated and efficient. Ensure successful implementation of patient safety strategies. Clear policies, leadership competencies, data to drive safety improvements, qualified medical professionals, and effective engagement in patient care are all required. Every year millions of patients are injured or die as a result of dangerous and poor quality medical care. Many medical practices and risks associated with healthcare have emerged as major patient safety challenges and contribute significantly to the burden of harm from unsafe care. Below are some of the most concerning patient safety situations? It is also important to recognize the impact of patient safety in reducing the costs associated with patient harm and improving the efficiency of the healthcare system. Providing safe services also helps strengthen and restore community trust in the health system. The purpose of World Patient Safety Day is to promote patient safety by raising public awareness and engagement, increasing global understanding, and working towards global solidarity and action. WHO believes that by focusing on these critical areas to sustainably improve patient safety, we can improve the patient experience, reduce risk and harm, achieve better health outcomes and reduce costs. We aim to reduce. WHO's commitment to patient safety began with the creation of the Global Patient Safety Alliance in 2004 and has evolved over time. WHO has promoted improved health care safety in Member States by establishing the Global Patient Safety Challenge? Each challenge identifies a patient safety burden that poses a large and significant risk. WHO also, with the support of national health ministers, high representatives, experts and representatives, through its annual Global Ministerial Summit on Patient Safety, which aims to advance the patient safety agenda at the level of political leadership, It has provided strategic guidance and leadership to countries. WHO contributes to the production of technical guidance and resources such as the Multi-Professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide, Safe Birth Checklist, Surgical Safety Checklist, Patient Safety Solutions and 5 Moments for Drug Safety (available in print and app). I have tried my best. To foster global solidarity, WHO has also encouraged the creation of networking and collaborative initiatives such as the Global Patient Safety Network and the Global Patient Safety Community? Recognizing the importance of governance, policy, improving health care systems, and the active participation of patients in their own care, WHO advocates for patient safety in order to promote patient and family involvement. I also created a patient program.
