International Confederation of Midwives<br />

Members of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) have dedicated<br />

considerable time and expertise to collaborating with the World Health Organization<br />

and other health professions, to create a truly multi-disciplinary and multiprofessional<br />

<strong>Patient</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Curriculum</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>, to teach patient safety principles to a<br />

wide range of health professionals. The case studies in this guide will help students<br />

not only recognize the role of patient safety in different care settings but will also<br />

highlight the need for improved inter-professional collaboration and communication<br />

to avoid health-related errors.<br />

As President of ICM, I congratulate the numerous health professionals and <strong>WHO</strong>,<br />

who together have created this <strong>Guide</strong>. I am of course especially proud of the<br />

contributions from midwife members of ICM, who have worked tirelessly and<br />

collaboratively to bring this <strong>Curriculum</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> to fruition. May it serve the<br />

international health community well as it strives to respond to the health needs of<br />

the world.<br />
