Distinguished Countrymen and women, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, as the Public Health Association of Zambia, we join the rest of the world in commemorating the World Patient Safety Day, a day dedicated to reminding ourselves and the world that health care is not truly successful unless it is safe care. This year’s theme, “Safe Care for Every Newborn and Every Child”, is a powerful call to action. It challenges us to protect the most vulnerable among us, our children whose survival, growth, and potential depend on the quality and safety of the care they receive.

Every year, millions of newborns and children are admitted to health facilities. Sadly, too many of them experience preventable harm due to unsafe care practices; whether through infections, medication errors, delayed interventions, or lack of adequate resources. The consequences are devastating: avoidable illness, disability, and loss of life. Behind every statistic is a grieving family and a community robbed of its future.

Yet, we are not powerless. Evidence shows that with strong commitment, proper systems, and a culture of safety, we can drastically reduce harm and save lives. Simple but effective interventions such as hand hygiene, safe medication use, respectful maternity and pediatric care, timely vaccinations, and improved monitoring of sick children can make the difference between life and death.

Patient safety for newborns and children requires:

1. Accountability and leadership at all levels of the health system.

2. Investment in training for health workers, ensuring they are equipped with skills and tools to deliver safe, compassionate, and effective care.
3. Empowered families and communities, because parents and caregivers are vital partners in protecting their children’s health.

4. Stronger health systems that prioritize quality and safety alongside access.

As we mark this day, let us renew our collective resolve:

1. To put the safety of every newborn and every child at the center of our health agenda.

2. To create environments where health workers can deliver care without fear of blame, but with a shared commitment to learning and improving.

3. To advocate for resources, policies, and innovations that safeguard the lives of our children.

Safe care is not a privilege, it is a right. Every child, no matter where they are born or live, deserves to survive, to thrive, and to reach their full potential in good health.

Let us work together; governments, health professionals, families, and communities - to ensure that the cry of every newborn is met with safe hands, and that every child grows up in a system that protects, heals, and nurtures.

On this World Patient Safety Day, may we commit not only to raising awareness but to taking action. Because when we make care safer for our children, we safeguard the future of our nations.

Thank you,

Maambo Mumbuluma
