Every child has the right to safe, quality health care — from the very beginning.  This #WorldPatientSafetyDay, we call on parents, caregivers, health practitioners, health care leaders, educators and communities, to unite in action to prevent avoidable harm in paediatric care

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay Children rely on their parents and caregivers to make decisions and keep them safe when receiving care. Practical steps for parents and caregivers: 🪁 Keep track of symptoms, medications and appointments 🪁 Ask questions and stay informed 🪁
