Strengthening Public Health Systems: Policies, Partnerships, and Strategies for Safe Newborn and Child Care

Despite progress in healthcare delivery, newborns and children remain vulnerable to preventable harm, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This webinar will highlight the critical importance of patient safety and explore the role of health system strengthening, policy frameworks, and intersectoral partnerships in reducing newborn and child mortality. The session aims to foster dialogue and share actionable insights to advance safe, high-quality, and equitable care for every child.

This event has been organised by the Patients for Patient safety Network India, as part of the observance of World Patient Safety Day 2025, under the WHO theme “Safe Care for Every Newborn and Every Child”.

Key Discussion Areas:

• Burden and causes of preventable newborn and child deaths, with emphasis on patient safety and quality of care.

• Systemic gaps in public health systems that hinder safe and equitable care.
• Successful strategies and interventions to improve outcomes through multisectoral collaboration and capacity-building.
