World Patient Safety Day – “Elevate the voice of patients!”

 The World Patient Safety Day takes place every year on September 17th. In 2023, the theme “Engaging Patients for Patient Safety” is a recognition of the crucial role that patients, families and caregivers play in the safety of health care.

Organized by the World Health Organization (WHO), this day’s objectives are to increase public awareness and promote initiatives to improve patient safety.

Within DADA Consultancy, the Pharmacovigilance Department deals with the safety of medicines on a daily basis. The objective is to identify, assess and prevent adverse reactions, thereby ensuring the safety and efficacy of medicinal products.

Patient reports provide new information and perspective on adverse drug reactions. This new information may lead to clarity on safety signals and increased knowledge about side effects.

By working all together, we can improve health care for everybody.
