“Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of avoidable harm in healthcare across the world,” WHO said, noting that the pandemic has significantly increased the risk of such errors.
3. To observe World Patient Safety Day 2022, the WHO is urging key stakeholders to ramp up efforts to prevent medication errors and reduce medication-related harm.
