On 17th September every year, we commemorate the World Patient Safety day with a theme.
This year, 2024 the theme is “Improving diagnosis for patient safety” to highlight the critical importance of correct and timely diagnosis in ensuring patient safety and improving health outcomes.
When a correct diagnosis is given, disease management becomes easier and prognosis improves, ultimately improving patient’s lives and longevity.
