World Patient Safety Day: Why It Matters to Everyone

#SYSTEMPHARM #UKRAINE

On September 17, the world marked Patient Safety Day — an initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO), aimed at drawing attention to one of the key issues in healthcare: how to make treatment as safe, effective, and comfortable as possible for every patient.

Why patient safety is a priority

In today’s healthcare system, the patient is at the center. And it’s not only about the effectiveness of medicines or the latest technologies, but also about:

-preventing medical errors,
-ensuring quality control of treatment,
-access to reliable health information,
-respect for patients’ rights and their involvement in decision-making.

According to WHO, every year millions of people worldwide face complications that could have been avoided through proper organization of processes and increased health literacy.

The idea is simple: patients and doctors must be partners. An informed patient is able to better care for their own health and avoid risks.

What does this mean for us?

For doctors and medical staff — continuous improvement of knowledge, quality control of treatment, and responsibility in every decision.

For pharmaceutical companies — the production of high-quality and safe medicines, transparency, and accessibility of information about them.

For patients — an active role, interest in their own health, and trust in evidence-based medicine.
