World Patient Safety Day 2020

Sep 17, 2020

On 17 September 2020, the World Health Organization, international partners and all countries will celebrate World Patient Safety Day.

World Patient Safety Day was established by the 72nd World Health Assembly, in May 2019, with the adoption of resolution WHA72.6 on ‘Global action on patient safety’, and an endorsement for the Day to be marked annually on 17 September. World Patient Safety Day builds on a series of successful annual Global Ministerial Summits on Patient Safety, which started in London in 2016.   Click here for more information.
