The World Health Organization celebrates World Patient Safety Day, emphasizing the importance of caring for patients with chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory illnesses. It stressed that these conditions require careful and long-term follow-up. The organization pointed out that the deteriorating health situations in conflict zones increase the challenges of providing medications and essential services, as vital treatments are interrupted and early mortality rates rise due to resource shortages and destroyed infrastructure. It called on stakeholders to strengthen health policies and increase support for health systems in conflict areas to ensure continuity of care and reduce health risks associated with chronic diseases.
