The Direção-Geral da Saúde (DGS) shared a post on social media alerting that patient safety is also built with information and participation. The post highlights that being informed, asking questions, clarifying doubts, participating in decisions, and sharing experiences with healthcare professionals are factors that contribute to safer care.

The post emphasizes that patient participation makes a difference regarding the safety of healthcare. The main message is that safe care is essential for life.

The post is associated with World Patient Safety Day 2026, with the hashtag #PatientSafetyDay2026, and also with the National Patient Safety Programme 2021-2026. The DGS thus reinforces its commitment to raising awareness on this topic through social media.
