As noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) increasingly contribute to India’s overall disease burden, ensuring safety across screening, diagnosis, treatment, referral and long-term management has become an important healthcare priority. Patient safety in NCD care requires coordinated systems that minimise preventable harm, support medication safety and ensure continuity of care across different levels of the health system.

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare commemorated World Patient Safety Day 2026 at the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare (NIHFW), New Delhi, with the theme “Safe Care for Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs)”. The national programme brought together policymakers, public health experts, clinicians, quality managers, development partners and representatives from States and Union Territories to discuss approaches for improving safety and quality in NCD services.

Addressing the programme, Smt. Aradhana Patnaik, Additional Secretary and Mission Director (NHM), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, emphasised that patient safety needs to be integrated throughout the healthcare system rather than treated as the responsibility of a single programme or department. She highlighted the importance of safety during prevention, diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of NCDs.

Patnaik noted that nearly 63% of deaths in India are attributed to NCDs, underlining the importance of strengthening safe and continuous care for patients living with chronic conditions. She also highlighted the need to improve referral systems and continuity of care so that patients can access appropriate services promptly.

A major focus of the programme was the strengthening of quality assurance in primary healthcare facilities. States and Union Territories were urged to develop a clear roadmap towards achieving 100% National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) certification of Ayushman Aarogya Mandir–Sub Health Centres (AAM-SHCs) by March 2027, followed by certification of Ayushman Aarogya Mandir–Primary Health Centres (AAM-PHCs). The Ministry highlighted a structured and time-bound approach as important for embedding patient-safety practices across different levels of care.

The programme also included the administration of the National Patient Safety Pledge, reaffirming the commitment of healthcare stakeholders towards safer and higher-quality healthcare delivery.

The technical sessions examined patient safety specifically within NCD care, including the burden of harm associated with NCD services, digital health applications, medication safety, management of comorbidities and safety across clinical pathways. These discussions highlighted the need for integrated approaches, as patients with chronic diseases often require long-term treatment and interaction with multiple healthcare services.

The event also showcased State-led innovations in patient safety and NCD management. Jharkhand presented its model for comprehensive geriatric screening for diabetes and hypertension, Kerala highlighted the Hridhyaragam initiative for NCD prevention and control, while Rajasthan presented its SETU online referral application. The examples demonstrated how locally developed approaches can support screening, referral, follow-up and continuity of care.

The Ministry further highlighted the role of national quality and patient-safety frameworks, including the National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) and the National Patient Safety Implementation Framework. The World Patient Safety Day programme therefore served as a platform not only for awareness but also for sharing implementation experiences and strengthening quality-improvement practices across States and healthcare facilities.

The observance reinforced the importance of making patient safety an integral part of Universal Health Coverage, with the broader vision of ensuring “Safe Care for Life.”
