Medication safety webinar: Global burden of preventable medication-related harm | Policy brief on Medication Without Harm

7 March 2024 14:00 – 15:30 CET

Patient harm due to unsafe care is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and most of such harm is avoidable.
Harm due to medicines and therapeutic options accounts for nearly 50% of the overall preventable harm in medical care.
WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm is designed to reduce medication-related harm globally.
At this webinar we launched two WHO publications on Medication Safety, “Global burden of preventable medication-related harm” and “Policy brief on Medication Without Harm”, to create awareness and to support implementation of the WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm.
