Sign the HFE Declaration for the right of safe healthcare

On 5th December 2017  Health First Europe launched at the European Parliament the Declaration for Patient Safety which calls the Ministers of Health of the EU to agree on a high level of understanding on patient safety practices and standards to drive their national policies into a common path.

Patient harm is the 14th leading cause of the global disease burden, a threat to human health alike tuberculosis and malaria. Governments must act now to stop preventable harm and guarantee a safer healthcare in Europe  -  You might find references and further info on the Declaration for Patient Safety at http://declaration4patientsafety.eu/ - now available also in French – German – Italian – Spanish.
