Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Patient Safety Day is observed every year on September 17 as a global initiative led by the World Health Organization. Established in 2019, the day seeks to highlight the critical importance of ensuring safe healthcare practices, reducing preventable harm, and promoting accountability in medical systems. In 2025, the theme focuses on “Safe Care for Every Newborn and Every Child,” emphasizing the protection of vulnerable groups such as infants and young children. The observance not only raises awareness but also encourages collaboration among healthcare providers, policymakers, and patients to strengthen systems for safer, more reliable care worldwide.
