Every child deserves safe, quality health care from the very beginning.

But far too many children worldwide are put at risk by unsafe care. Due to their rapid development, evolving health needs, and reliance on adults. Children are particularly vulnerable when health care is not designed for their unique requirements.

🧸 Weight
🧸 Development

🧸 Context

Even a single safety incident can have lifelong consequences for a child’s health and development.

Patient safety from the start -- is a reminder that begins with safe, child-centred care.
