The objectives of WPSD are to increase public awareness and engagement, enhance global understanding, and work towards global solidarity and action by all stakeholders to improve patient safety. The theme of WPSD 2021 was \u201cSafe Maternal and Newborn Care\u201d and all stakeholders were urged to \u201cact now for safe and respectful childbirth!\u201d. Maternal and child mortality is one of the major health issues of the current times. Every day we lose 810 women due to pregnancy-related complications, 6,700 newborns lose their lives, and there are 5,400 stillbirths globally. The tragedy is that most of these deaths are avoidable through the provision of safe care.<\/p><p><strong>WPA conducted the largest WPSD campaign globally as over 800 events were organized all over the world.
