Sixth Global Ministerial Summit on Patient Safety 2024 "Bringing and sustaining changes in patient safety policies and practices" [1]

[]

Date: 2024-04-17

Global Ministerial Summits on Patient Safety have significantly contributed to raising awareness and driving the global patient safety movement. A key achievement was the adoption of WHA resolution (WHA72.6.) "Global Action on Patient Safety" in May 2019, which catalyzed the development of the Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021-2030. The plan establishes a strategic direction and proposes a framework of action for relevant stakeholders to support patient safety worldwide.

Co-sponsored by WHO, the fifth Global Ministerial Summit held in Montreux in 2024 with its slogan “Less Harm, Better Care – from Resolution to Implementation”, served as a catalyst for all countries to focus on narrowing implementation gaps in patient safety.

The 2024 Summit is being organized in Chile and will build on the efforts initiated in Montreux by delving into how Member States have managed to develop, implement, and sustain patient safety strategies within the framework of the Global Action Plan. In addition, the Summit will address emerging challenges and opportunities in patient safety, such as the integration of information technologies and artificial intelligence in health care. It will explore the varied experiences of countries in building safety cultures, empowering patients and families, and ensuring safety in health care processes and resilience of health services during high uncertainty scenarios. Discussions will also cover the education, communication and training of health care teams.
