Tuesday 12 April 202213:00 – 14:30  CET  Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of injury and avoidable harm in health care systems across the world.  WHO Patient Safety Flagship has initiated a series of monthly webinars on the topic of “WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm”,. The main objective of the webinar series is support implementation of this WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm at the country level. Considering the huge burden of medication-related harm, Medication Safety has also been selected as the theme for World Patient Safety Day 2022.Medication errors cause patient harm and death at a very high rate. It happens not only inside the healthcare facilities but also anywhere patients take medication. How to capture the medication safety incidents and learn from them have been a critical issue for patient safety. A country-wide/organization-wide reporting and learning system that captures and analyses medication errors is proven to help estimate the magnitude of harm, identify system gaps, and develop measures to prevent reoccurrences. Furthermore, a nationwide pharmacovigilance system helps capture adverse drug reactions and informs regulators, healthcare professionals, and the public about safety concerns regarding pharmaceutical products.At this webinar, we will discuss the medication error reporting and learning, as well as the pharmacovigilance systems which are widely used globally.The session is available in English, French and Spanish. The webinar was completed.
