Dr Tenza advocates for making it easier for staff to report medical incidents
The World Health Organisation's Global Patient Safety Action Plan envisions a future where no patient suffers harm during hospitalisation by the year 2030. A crucial element in achieving this objective is the establishment of hospital settings where discussions about errors are both easy and accepted among healthcare professionals.
Medical errors represent significant challenges within healthcare systems, and Dr Sabelile Tenza from the North-West University (NWU) advocates for environments that encourage the reporting of such errors.
