World Patient Safety Day, observed annually on 17 September, is a global initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness, strengthen collaboration, and promote collective action towards safer healthcare and the prevention of avoidable harm. It brings together healthcare organisations, professionals, patients, families, and policymakers to reinforce patient safety as a fundamental component of quality healthcare.

CAHO joins the global healthcare community in commemorating World Patient Safety Day 2026, reaffirming its commitment to advancing quality and patient safety. CAHO encourages healthcare organisations and professionals across India to participate through awareness activities, patient engagement, sharing of best practices, and initiatives that strengthen a culture of safety—working together towards safe, reliable, and patient-centred care for every patient, every time.
