Look after your health, then do no harm

SEPT 17 has been declared World Patient Safety Day by the World Health Organisation (WHO), which sees patient safety as a critical global public health issue.

No one should be harmed when seeking care and all stakeholders in the healthcare system must work together to improve patient safety. However, while due attention is placed on the patient’s care and safety, we often neglect the needs, concerns and well-being of healthcare workers.
