Expert Videos: Learn how early UACR testing can help reveal hidden CKD and related cardiovascular risk, even when eGFR appears normal.

The core goals of World Patient Safety Day are:

  • Reduce harm: Cut down avoidable errors in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic and noncommunicable diseases.
  • Engage patients: Involve people living with health conditions in co-developing safer healthcare solutions.
  • Global solidarity: Light up prominent public landmarks in orange to show commitment to safer medical care.

For providers, World Patient Safety Day is a reminder that every clinical decision, communication, and care process can play a role in preventing avoidable harm and making care safer for patients living with chronic conditions.
