The World Health Organization has designated September 17 as World Patient Safety Day. Its purpose is to raise awareness about patient safety and promote a consensus for fostering a culture of safety in healthcare. Safety ensures that patients are not harmed by services intended to enhance their health and quality of life. This year's theme is „Safe care for every newborn and every child".
