SAFE CARE FOR LIFE SAFE CARE FOR NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASES

17/09/2026

Every healthcare journey requires partnership among patients, families, and healthcare professionals. For people living with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), care is often long-term and continuous – from prevention and early detection to treatment, follow-up, and long-term health management.

On World Patient Safety Day – September 17, 2026, we recognize the importance of safe care throughout every stage of the healthcare journey.

Patient safety is not the responsibility of healthcare professionals alone. Patients and their families can also play an active role by asking questions, sharing important information, and working together with the healthcare team to reduce risks and support effective care.

TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT DISEASE AND DETECT HEALTH PROBLEMS EARLY

Some health risks can be reduced when we take care of our health early. You can:

  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle.

  • Understand the risk factors for disease.

  • Have regular health check-ups as recommended.

  • Take part in appropriate screening programs.

  • Recognize unusual symptoms early and seek medical attention when needed.

  • Seek and use reliable health information.

Prevention and early detection are important steps in protecting health and reducing risks throughout the healthcare journey.

BE AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN YOUR CARE

During medical consultations and treatment, patients can contribute to safer care by communicating openly with healthcare professionals.

Do not hesitate to:

  • Tell your healthcare team about any allergies, medicines you are taking, and relevant medical conditions.

  • Understand your health condition and treatment plan.

  • Ask questions if you do not fully understand your medicines, tests, procedures, or treatment.

  • Share your needs, preferences, and concerns during your care.

  • Tell your healthcare team promptly if you develop new or unusual symptoms.

  • Ask about possible risks related to your treatment.

Speak up when something does not feel right. Sharing information promptly can help the healthcare team assess the situation and provide appropriate support.

SAFE USE OF MEDICINES

For people living with noncommunicable diseases, medicines are often an important part of treatment and long-term health management.

Patients can:

TAKE YOUR MEDICINES ON TIME

  • Take medicines as directed by healthcare professionals.

  • Know how to use their medicines correctly.

  • Keep an up-to-date list of the medicines they are taking.

  • Use appropriate reminders to help take medicines on time.

  • Talk to healthcare professionals if they have any questions or notice unusual symptoms.

Do not change or stop your treatment without advice from your healthcare professional.

STAY ENGAGED IN YOUR HEALTH AND FOLLOW-UP CARE

For people living with noncommunicable diseases, ongoing monitoring and long-term health management are essential.

You can:

  • Follow the recommended schedule for monitoring, tests, and follow-up appointments.

  • Monitor your health and recognize warning signs.

  • Keep records of your appointments and test results.

  • Understand your follow-up plan and the next steps in your care.

  • Know how and when to contact the appropriate healthcare professional when you have questions or need support.

SAFE CARE STARTS WITH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION

Every patient has an important role to play in their own healthcare journey.

Take your medicines on time.

Speak up when something does not feel right.

Stay proactive with regular health check-ups.

Ask questions when something is unclear.

Work together with your healthcare team throughout your care and treatment.

On World Patient Safety Day 2026, let us work together to build a healthcare environment where patients, families, and healthcare professionals are partners in achieving a shared goal: 

SAFE CARE FOR LIFE

Safety at every step of the healthcare journey.

For better health today and a healthier future.
