Page 6 - MALAYSIAN PATIENT SAFETY GOALS
P. 6
In nursing, safe patient care has started during the era of Florence
Nightingale, who advocated that “nurses should put their patients in the
best condition possible for nature to act upon”.
Nurses need to continuously upgrade their knowledge and skills as
patient safety cannot be compromised. The unique roles and
responsibilities of the nurses in patient safety must be clearly
understood and implemented.
Finally, I would like to congratulate the Nursing Division Of Ministry of
Health and those who are involved in producing this guideline for their
effort.
I also would like to thank all the nurses for their hard work in ensuring
safe patient care.
Thank you.
