World Patient Safety Day—“Safe Care for Every Newborn and Every Child”, 17 September 2025
World Patient Safety Day 2025, held on 17 September, is this year highlighting the theme “Safe care for every newborn and every child”, with the slogan “Patient safety from the start!”. This year’s campaign draws attention to the specific safety needs of newborns and children, urging global action to be undertaken to eliminate preventable harm in pediatric and neonatal care. The World Health Organization calls on governments, healthcare providers, and communities to prioritize safer systems, empower caregivers, and implement strategies that protect our youngest patients from the risks of unsafe care.
At MDPI, we are proud to support this important initiative. Through our open access journals, we provide a platform for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to share knowledge, innovations, and best practices that can help to advance patient safety. By fostering global collaboration and promoting evidence-based solutions, we contribute to improving the quality of care and ensuring that every child receives safe, effective treatment from the very beginning of life.
