World Patient Safety Day 2025 – Theme, History, and Objectives

Every year on 17th September, the world comes together to mark World Patient Safety Day, an initiative by the World Health Organization (WHO) to prioritize safe, effective, and error-free healthcare.

In 2025, the theme is “Safe care for every newborn and every child”, with the slogan “Patient safety from the start!” This year emphasizes protecting the most vulnerable — newborns and children — by improving maternal and child healthcare, reducing risks during childbirth, and ensuring every child has access to safe medical care.

At My Health Hospitals(Tarnaka & Kukatpally), we are deeply committed to providing world-class, safe, and compassionate care for both mothers and children, while also ensuring safety across all specialties.
