The World Health Organization and other global stakeholders have agreed on the first-ever Patient Safety Rights Charter to safeguard patients and their families from medical dangers ahead of this year’s World Patients Safety Day (WPSD) on September 17, 2023.
The global health agency also outlined the core rights of all patients in the context of healthcare safety and seeks to assist governments and other stakeholders to ensure that the voices of patients are heard and their right to safe healthcare is protected.
