September 17 marks World Patient Safety Day (WPSD). Patient safety—or, preventing avoidable harm to patients—is a priority for MSF. It is included in every OC’s strategic plan for 2020-2023. This WPSD, the Quality Contact Group (OCA,OCG, and OCBA) wants to draw attention to the importance of patient safety and highlight MSF’s commitment to improving quality of care to MSF supporters.
MSF is committed to providing safe, effective, and people-centered medical care. On World Patient Safety Day, our staff from around the world share what patient safety means to them.
Thanks to our staff and all health care workers around the world who are working to continually improve patient safety—even in emergency settings.
