World Patient Safety Day 2025 is dedicated to "Safe Care for Every Newborn and Every Child". In this Perspective, we highlight how parents, relatives, and the community, through observation and communication with healthcare workers, can become full partners in the safety of newborns and children, preventing harm at home, on the ward, and throughout the health system.
