[ONLY TO BE USED ON 17th of SEPTEMBER]

On the 17 September is World Patient Safety Day, an annual day introduced by WHO, to recognise patient safety as a global health priority. The focus this year is on health worker safety, as the COVID-19 pandemic has emphasised even more that in order to keep our patients safe, we need to make sure our health workers are safe too. Although this is a WHO campaign, on behalf of the intersectional patient safety working group, we take this day as an opportunity to draw attention to the work MSF is doing in terms of patient safety in their wider commitments to Quality of Care. This will be the first time MSF will actively participate in this campaign. This is a short video to celebrate, thank and stand in solidarity with health workers and those on the front lines, both from MSF and beyond.
