As Nigeria today joins the global community to mark the 2020 World Patient Safety Day, President of Commonwealth Medical Association, Dr. Osahon Enabulele, has called on governments of countries in the Commonwealth of nations and other stakeholders to invest in the safety and protection of health workers and patients.
