Soonchunhyang University Gumi Hospital held the "2025 Patient Safety Week Event" from September 16 to 18.
The Patient Safety Week event was organized to coincide with "World Patient Safety Day" (September 17), designated by the World Health Organization (WHO), and aimed to promote a proper culture of patient safety among patients, caregivers, and staff.
This event was selected as part of the "Together for Greater Value Patient Safety Campaign" contest, hosted by the Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation. Focusing on the campaign theme of "Safe Healthcare for Children," the hospital placed special emphasis on creating a safer treatment environment for pediatric patients.
The event featured a variety of interactive programs, including making keyrings with patient safety pledges, solving safety-related quizzes, and filling in patient safety commitment stickers.
Patients, caregivers, and staff participated together, reflecting on the importance of patient safety. All participants received small gifts, which were met with an enthusiastic response.
Hospital Director Min Kyungdae stated, "Soonchunhyang University Gumi Hospital operates a 365 Pediatric and Adolescent Care Center and is dedicated to providing a safe treatment environment for pediatric patients. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen a patient-centered safety culture for all visitors, including children, to ensure that everyone can receive care with peace of mind."
