Event details
As we prepare for commemorating World Patient Safety Day 2026, the next session in the JCI Patient Safety Pathways Grand Rounds series will be on “Safe Care for Noncommunicable Diseases”.
Noncommunicable diseases account for the majority of the global disease burden, and patients often navigate complex care journeys that place them at increased risk of preventable harm. Advancing safer care for these patients is essential to improving outcomes and strengthening health systems worldwide.
Panel of global experts:
- Sir Aziz Sheikh, MBBS, MD - Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Head of Department and Nuffield Professor of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford; Professorial Fellow at Harris Manchester College United Kingdom
- Dr. Alarcos Cieza, MSc, MPH, PhD - Head of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) Management, Department of NCDs and Mental Health, World Health Organization (WHO) Switzerland
- Dr. Albert W. Wu, MD, MPH - Fred and Juliet Soper Professor of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, United States
Together, we will explore emerging evidence, practical strategies, and opportunities to improve the safety of care for people living with noncommunicable diseases.
Participation is complimentary.
