Welcome to World Patient Safety Day 2025 Webinar!

Today’s event is dedicated to fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and exploring innovative strategies that ensure safer care, reduce patient harm, and improve health outcomes—especially for the most vulnerable among us. Together, we will discuss policies, practices, and research that can strengthen health systems and make patient safety a universal priority from the very beginning of life.

Let us work hand in hand to create a future where every newborn and every child receives the safest possible care.
