DESCRIPTION:\n	Every September 17th\, World Patient Safety Day is commem
	orated\, and this year's theme is \"Improving Diagnosis for Patient Safety
	.\" In line with the WHO’s Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021–2030
	 and PAHO’s Strategy and Action Plan to Improve the Quality of Care in H
	ealth Services Delivery 2020-2025 for the Region of the Americas\, the foc
	us is on highlighting the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis to e
	nsure patient safety and improve health outcomes.\n\n\n\n	With the slogan
	 \"Get it right\, make it safe!\"\, the WHO calls on all stakeholders to
	 take necessary measures to prioritize diagnostic safety and adopt a multi
	dimensional approach that strengthens systems\, ensures safe diagnostic pa
	thways\, supports healthcare workers in making correct decisions\, and eng
	ages patients throughout the diagnostic process. This approach aims to red
	uce diagnostic errors\, which often arise from a combination of cognitive 
	and system factors affecting the recognition of key patient signs and symp
	toms\, as well as the interpretation and communication of test and study r
	esults.\n\n\n\n	This year\, we will host a virtual seminar on September 25
	 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\, providing patients\, decision-makers\, he
	althcare teams\, and academics the opportunity to discuss and share their 
	insights on enhancing patient safety through more timely and accurate diag
	noses.\n\n\n\n	Event objectives:\n\n\n\n	\n		Promote the importance of dia
	gnostic safety at all levels of healthcare.\n	\n	\n		Foster collaboration 
	among policymakers\, healthcare leaders\, healthcare workers\, patient org
	anizations\, and other stakeholders to advance accurate\, timely\, and saf
	e diagnosis.\n	\n	\n		Engage patients and families to actively collaborate
	 with healthcare workers and leaders to improve diagnostic processes.\n	\n
	\n\n\n	Audience:\n\n\n\n	Policymakers from Ministries of Health and other 
	ministries\, academics\, healthcare leaders\, healthcare professionals and
	 workers\, patient organizations\, families\, and communities.\n\n\n\n	Reg
