Abstract

In 2015, all the countries in South East Asia, including India, agreed to the WHO’s 68th Regional Committee for South East Asia’s “Regional Strategy on Patient Safety in the World Health Organization’s South East Asia Regional Area (2016-2025)”. The goal of the strategy was to help countries develop their quality of care strategies, policies, and plans for patient safety and to translate the six objectives of the strategy into practical strategies for each country [1]. The World Health Assembly in May 2019 approved World Patient Safety Day (WPSD), celebrated on Sept 17 each year.
