Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay Children aren’t small adults. They need safe care tailored to their: 🧸 Age 🧸 Weight 🧸 Development 🧸 Medical needs 🧸 Ability to communicate 🧸 Context Learn why we need to ensure safe care for all children from the start👉 bit.ly/WPSD2025WHO #PatientSafety

A graphic for World Patient Safety Day 2025 with the title “Why is safe health care for children so important?”. It shows two children holding flowers at the top. Four key points are highlighted: (1) Children face higher risks – even small errors can cause lifelong harm. (2) Children need care that fits their age, weight and development. (3) Children can’t speak up — they rely on adults to keep them safe. (4) Safety takes teamwork — families and health workers working together.
