Bawat bata ay may karapatang makatanggap ng ligtas at de-kalidad na pangangalaga sa kalusugan — mula sa kanilang pagsilang.

Ngunit ang mga sanggol at batang nasa murang edad ay mas mataas ang panganib dahil sa mabilis na paglaki, natatanging pangangailangang medikal, at pagdepende nila sa matatanda upang ipaglaban ang kanilang karapatan sa tamang gamutan. Kung hindi akma ang serbisyong ibinibigay ayon sa kanilang edad, laki, at kalagayan, maaari silang malagay sa panganib na magdulot ng pangmatagalang epekto sa kanilang kalusugan at kinabukasan.

Ngayong taon, nakikiisa ang Tondo Medical Center at TondoMed Patient Safety Committee sa pagdiriwang ng World Patient Safety Day 2025 na nakatuon sa pagbibigay ng ligtas na pangangalaga para sa lahat ng sanggol at batang mula pagsilang hanggang siyam (9) na taon gulang.

🤝 Nanawagan ang World Health Organization (WHO) at ang TondoMed sa mga magulang, tagapag-alaga, health practitioners, g**o, at buong komunidad na magsama-sama upang maiwasan ang pinsalang maaaring iwasan, at makabuo ng mas ligtas at mas malusog na kinabukasan para sa bawat bata.

Dito sa Tondo Medical Center, nananatili kaming tapat sa aming misyon: “Kaligtasan ng Pasyente, mula sa simula.” 🧡
