W.H.O. - World Patient Safety Day 2025 Webinar on Goal 2: Enhance medication safety

Webinar Series on the World Patient Safety Day Goals

Safe care for every newborn and every child

Patient safety for newborns and children remains a critical global health priority. Children are particularly vulnerable to preventable harm due to developmental factors, dependency on caregivers, complex medication dosing requirements, diagnostic uncertainty, and increased susceptibility to health care-associated infections.

Ensuring safe care for every newborn and every child is therefore essential to improving health outcomes and strengthening quality of care across health systems.

The World Patient Safety Day 2025 campaign, under the theme:

“Safe care for every newborn and every child: Patient safety from the start!”

emphasizes the importance of embedding patient safety principles early in life and across the continuum of maternal, newborn and child health services.

The campaign identifies five priority goals, calling for coordinated action by governments, health professionals, professional associations, civil society, and families globally.
