About the Event
World Patient Safety Day (WPSD) is observed annually on 17 September, as established by the World Health Assembly resolution WHA72.6. It serves as a global call to action, uniting patients, families, health workers, policymakers, and civil society to advance patient safety worldwide.
The 2025 campaign focuses on safeguarding our youngest patients, newborns and children by ensuring that safety is prioritized right from the start of life. This year’s theme, “Safe care for every newborn and every child”, recognizes the urgent need to eliminate preventable harm in paediatric and neonatal health care settings.
