Health care today is not safe.
We can and must change this!

We invite you to “Unite for Safe Care.” Whether you are a patient, advocate, health worker or leader, or just a concerned citizen. Together we are working to ensure patient and health worker safety in every nation on earth.
Every day is World Patient Safety Day. Whether you’re reading this in January, June or November, you can take actions throughout the year to help improve patient safety.
