At UHC, it’s the week that lasts all year!!
Medical error remains a major source of injury and death among patients.
134 million adverse events occur worldwide annually with majority being in LMIC countries
A study from Nigeria by Iloh, G et al 2017, the prevalence of medical errors was 42.8% and 100% of the medical practitioners had a negative attitude to error disclosure to the patients and their families.
Here are some ways as a patient to improve safety during medical care:
Take a list of your medications with you to your visit
Be ready to ask questions about your health
Avoid self-medication
Wash your hands using soap and water for 20 seconds.
At UHC, we are committed to reducing avoidable harm and death. We treat patient safety like a global priority that it is.
