Perspectives on Zero Harm in the Middle East

Elsevier and Joint Commission International have teamed up once again to accelerate the path to Zero Harm, this time focusing on the Middle East.
We launched this new initiative in 2023 by carrying out a survey about the Zero Harm objective throughout the Middle East. The aim of this survey was to promote a variety of discussions and resources that help healthcare professionals evaluate and make changes to continue improving patient safety and quality of care.
Our engagement team is working with organizations around the world to bring patient safety and zero harm workshops for clinicians, please reach out here to learn more.
