Thumbay University Hospital in collaboration with The Kilifi County Government of Kenya has successfully concluded its International Observership programme, honouring 10 dedicated medical professionals. The program, titled ‘To Err is Human: Building a Safe Health System,’ has made noteworthy strides in enhancing patient and healthcare worker safety through a comprehensive educational approach over the past three weeks.

During the programme, participants engaged on critical topics including performance improvement, creating a safe healthcare environment and effective risk management. The curriculum covered infection control, safe medication practices, and clinical management, and extended to allied fields like pharmacy and physiotherapy. They gained critical insights through sessions on hospital management, leadership, clinical governance, quality assurance, critical care medicine, medical records, and biomedical waste management.
