JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia has joined the world in celebrating World Patient Safety Day 2021.
The Saudi Patient Safety Center said that the 72nd World Health Assembly, affiliated with the World Health Organization, adopted in May 2019 a global action on patient safety, which guarantees celebrating a world day on patient safety each year.
The SPSC noted that this year saw the inauguration of an awareness campaign under the theme “safe maternal and newborn care,” which aims at raising community awareness on the safety of mothers and newborns.
It also aims to support the best health practices to reduce risks and deaths that can be avoided during delivery.
