Safe Surgery Saves Lives: The Second Global Patient Safety Challenge.

  • CLASSIC
This initiative provides a surgical safety checklist and related educational and training materials to encourage international adoption of a core set of safety standards. Implementation of this World Health Organization's checklist has resulted in dramatic reductions in surgical mortality and complications across diverse international hospitals.
