As Nigeria today joins the global community to mark the 2020 World Patient Safety Day, President of Commonwealth Medical Association, Dr. Osahon Enabulele, has called on governments of countries in the Commonwealth of nations and other stakeholders to invest in the safety and protection of health workers and patients.
According to him, in May 2019, the 72nd World Health Assembly endorsed via Resolution WHA 72.6, the establishment of World Patient Safety Day to be marked annually on the 17th of September. “Importantly, the CMA recognises their exemplary commitment to duty and provision of quality care in the current global war against the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is particularly in terms of protecting physicians and other healthcare workers from assaults and acts of violence perpetrated against them even in the course of undertaking their sacred duties of saving lives in the current COVID-19 pandemic as well as evidence of inadequate provision of working tools, Personal Protective Equipment and unsatisfactory working conditions, among others.
