MDPI Webinar | World Patient Safety Day, 17 September 2025
In commemoration of World Patient Safety Day on 17 September 2025, we are delighted to bring together healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates from around the world to focus on this year’s theme— “Safe care for every newborn and every child”, with the slogan “Patient safety from the start!”
This event is dedicated to fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and exploring innovative strategies that ensure safer care, reduce patient harm, and improve health outcomes—especially for the most vulnerable among us. Together, we will discuss policies, practices, and research that can strengthen health systems and make patient safety a universal priority from the very beginning of life.
Let us work hand in hand to create a future where every newborn and every child receives the safest possible care.
