Patient Safety From The Start
Q1. Why focus on children for World Patient Safety Day?
Because the smallest voices need the strongest protection. Newborns and children have fragile bodies, rapidly changing needs, and a future shaped by the care they receive today. In those first nine years of life, even small errors can have lifelong consequences.
Q2. How does safer care make a difference globally?
The numbers speak for themselves, according to the WHO:
- Improving the quality of care could save up to 1 million newborns annually
- Safer care reduces costs by preventing complications and reducing hospital stays.
- Engaging patients and families in care can reduce harm by up to 15%
Q3. What can parents, caregivers, and HCPs do to improve safety?
Safety is a shared responsibility. Four simple but powerful actions make a real difference:
- Safe care starts from the first breath. Every intervention matters.
- Double-check before every procedure. Names, allergies, and medications should always be confirmed.
- Learn what to watch for. Awareness of common childhood conditions helps prevent delays.
- Communicate with empathy. Encourage questions, listen actively, and involve families in decisions.
Q4. How did Eureka support patient safety?
