About the Event
World Patient Safety Day takes place annually on September 17 to raise awareness and drive worldwide intervention for the safety of patients. The observance inspires countries across the globe to prioritize patient safety in the healthcare system. The most basic definition of patient safety is putting an end to avoidable errors and negative practices suffered by patients within healthcare settings. Alongside the progress made in healthcare systems over the years, it has also become more complex with new technology, treatments, and medicines being introduced.
