In an effort to turn sage care into best experiences, Potchefstroom Hospital, in partnership with the North West University and the National Research Foundation, held the Patient Safety Seminar at the Residence Hall today, 06 August 2025.
“When we talk about ‘best experiences’, it is easy to think about hospitality. Yet the truth is, no experience can be called the best if it is not first and foremost safe. Safety is the foundation upon which trust, dignity, and excellence are built,” Dr. Petronella Lunda said.
Patient safety is the prevention of errors and adverse events associated with healthcare. It is about ensuring that patients are not harmed while receiving medical care.
“Patient safety emphasizes systems and processes that reduce risks, prevent mistakes, and create a culture of learning and continuous improvement,” Dr. Lunda concluded.
