FG develops first national policy on patient safety

The Permanent Secretary said empowering patients to become integral members of their healthcare teams is a crucial avenue to significantly enhance the safety of their care and the healthcare system as a whole.

“Under the banner ‘Elevate the voice of patients’, the WHO calls upon all stakeholders to take the necessary steps to ensure that patients are not just passive recipients of healthcare but active participants. This includes involving them in policy formulation, representation in governance structures, co-designing safety strategies, and making them partners in their own care.”

Meanwhile, the Director of Hospital Services, Dr Jimoh Salaudeen, called on stakeholders to take the necessary action to ensure that patients are involved in policy formulation, represented in governance structures, engaged in co-designing safety strategies, and are active partners in their own care.

The WHO said around one in every 10 patients is harmed in health care and more than three million deaths occur annually due to unsafe care.
