Unsafe Medical Care

"Adverse Health Events"

Almost half a million people each year are injured worldwide  due to unsafe medical care

These injuries result in the loss of nearly 23 million years of “healthy” life. 

“We find that millions of people around the world are hurt, disabled, and sometimes even die as a result of medical errors.”

Ashish Jha, professor of health policy and management at Harvard School of Public Health
