Modern healthcare is built on advanced technology, expertise and hope. Beneath the promise of cutting‐edge treatments lies a staggering reality. Medical errors may seem like a punchline in a dark joke yet behind the grim statistics lies a crisis that affects millions globally. Every year, at least 2.6 million people lose their lives due to preventable mistakes in healthcare according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Imagine if a Boeing 747 filled to capacity crashed every single hour of the year. The global outcry would be deafening. Yet, medical errors remain a silent systemic epidemic. To put it darkly, you’re more likely to be killed by a misplaced decimal on a prescription than by a shark, lightning strike or even a car crash. These errors span from misdiagnoses and medication mishaps to surgical blunders and communication failures.
