Every child deserves a safe beginning. Today, we join the global movement to raise awareness about the importance of patient safety—starting from birth.
Each year, over 830,000 newborns and 2.4 million stillbirths occur worldwide. Many of these tragedies are preventable with safer care, better communication, and stronger systems.
This year’s campaign reminds us:
• Safety isn’t just a medical goal—it’s a human right
• Families are partners in care, not just recipients
• Healthcare workers, parents, policymakers, and advocates all play a role
What YOU can do:
• Ask questions about your child’s care
• Support safe birth practices and timely treatment
• Share this message to help protect every child’s future
Let’s work together to ensure that every newborn and every child receives the safe, respectful care they deserve—from the very start.
