It takes all of us to provide safe care for noncommunicable diseases — from the people living with chronic conditions, to their health workers, carers, and community. Everyone has a role to play. Here's how. #WorldPatientSafetyDay

Safe care for noncommunicable diseases takes all of us.

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay Children aren’t small adults. They need safe care tailored to their: 🧸 Age 🧸 Weight 🧸 Development 🧸 Medical needs 🧸 Ability to communicate 🧸 Context Learn why we need to ensure safe care for all children from the start👉 bit.ly/WPSD2025WHO #PatientSafety

A graphic for World Patient Safety Day 2025 with the title “Why is safe health care for children so important?”. It shows two children holding flowers at the top. Four key points are highlighted: (1) Children face higher risks – even small errors can cause lifelong harm. (2) Children need care that fits their age, weight and development. (3) Children can’t speak up — they rely on adults to keep them safe. (4) Safety takes teamwork — families and health workers working together.

If it isn’t safe, it isn’t care. For people living with heart disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease, care is lifelong. A delayed diagnosis, wrong medicine, unsafe procedure or poor communication can cost lives. Everyone deserves safe care, for life. #WorldPatientSafetyDay

(...) Cleaner air, ventilation, filtration, respirators, and improved infection prevention policies all matter. Patients should be able to seek care without leaving with a new illness. Healthcare includes preventing the next infection. #WorldPatientSafetyDay #PatientSafety #LongCOVID
