Patients for Patient Safety (PFPS) emphasizes the central role patients and consumers can play in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care around the world. PFPS works with a global network of patients, consumers, caregivers, and consumer organizations to support patient involvement in patient safety programmes, both within countries and in the global programmes of WHO Patient Safety. The ultimate purpose is to improve health-care safety in all health-care settings throughout the world by involving consumers and patients as partners.
