Patient Safety means reducing the risk of unnecessary harm associated with healthcare. The magnitude of the problem is such that WHO considers patient safety as a global endemic. Improving patient safety & quality of care is a journey and a process of continual improvement. The most important factor for ensuring patient safety is joining hands of the healthcare professionals and institutions and spreading awareness. Keeping this goal in mind, down town hospital organized the 1st North East Patient Safety Workshop in the year 2015 wherein participants from all 8 states of North East Region deliberated to address on this issue. Subsequently, down town hospital organized 2nd, 3rd & 4th North East Patient Safety Workshop in the year 2016, 2017 & 2018 respectively.
