The main objective of the Global Patient Safety Collaborative (GPSC) is to secure and scale up global action on patient safety as well as to work in close collaboration with selected low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in their quest to reduce the risk of avoidable harm and improve the safety of their national health care systems.

1) Strengthen leadership to promote patient safety across all sectors and settings; 2) Develop a competent workforce through education and training in patient safety; and 3) Support research capacities and evidence-based policies, strategies and standards.
