Rama Medical College's Patient Safety Day 2023: A Milestone in Patient-Centered Care
04 Oct 2023
The Department of Community Medicine at Rama Medical College, Mandhana, Kanpur, organized Patients Safety Goals 2023 with an influential event focused on patient participation and safety as part of a resounding commitment to raising healthcare standards. This project was directed on September 21, 2023, under the valued direction of the Department Head, Dr. Anju Gahlot.
This year's event's underlying subject was "Engaging patients for patient safety," which complemented the primary goal of the National Patient Safety Goals, which seek to address healthcare safety problems and advance solutions.
The 72nd World Health Assembly established Global action on patient safety in 2019, and it aims to increase worldwide awareness, promote understanding, and motivate action to improve patient safety and reduce harm.
Objectives of World Patient Safety Day 2023:
Global Awareness: Promote active involvement of patients, their families, and caregivers at all healthcare levels for improved patient safety.
Stakeholder Engagement: Engage policymakers, healthcare leaders, workers, patients' organizations, civil society, and stakeholders in the pursuit of safer healthcare policies and practices.
Empower Patients: Empower patients and families to actively participate in their healthcare and contribute to its safety.
Advocate Action: Advocate urgent actions aligned with the Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021–2030 to be embraced by all stakeholders.
The event included a wide range of activities to ensure participation from the 50 students in each group of medical students from the MBBS batches of 2020 and 2022. The supervision was given by faculty coordinators, who promoted a competitive yet cooperative atmosphere. Due to the division of the students into smaller groups, lively engagement was seen in activities including quizzes, discussions on patient safety goals, poster competitions, and slogan competitions. Winners in each of these categories received the due respect.
As Rama University continues to prioritize patient well-being, initiatives like the Patients Safety Goals 2023 serve as a beacon of hope for safer and more patient-centered healthcare practices in the future.
