𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — 𝟭𝟳 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱
Today we stand for safe care for every newborn and every child. Patient safety is everyone’s responsibility: health workers, caregivers, families and communities. Simple actions — correct diagnosis, safe prescribing, accurate administration, clear communication, and family engagement — save lives and prevent avoidable harm. Medication safety is critical: follow prescriptions, ask questions, check doses, store medicines safely, and report any unexpected effects. Together we can ensure safer care for the most vulnerable patients: our babies and children.
𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- Ask your provider to explain the diagnosis and treatment in plain language.
- Verify medicine name, dose and timing before leaving the clinic.
- Keep medicines out of children’s reach and in original containers.
- Speak up if something doesn’t seem right — your voice matters.
