**Closing Date**: Apr 24, 2024, 4:59:00 PM

**Primary Location**: Switzerland-Geneva

**Organization**: HQ/IHS Integrated Health Services

**Schedule**: Full-time

***OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME**:
The Patient Safety Flagship (PSF) operates within the Integrated Health Services (IHS) department, situated in the Division of Universal Health Coverage and Life Course (UHL). The IHS department focuses on the delivery and experience of healthcare, emphasizing the interaction between individuals receiving care and healthcare providers. The core mission of the UHL is to ensure healthcare access for all throughout life, recognizing the impact of healthcare organization on access and health outcomes. The overarching goal is to provide trusted and quality healthcare that is safe, effective, respectful, compassionate, timely, and efficient. To achieve its objective, IHS offers strategic and normative guidance along with operational tools. These resources support countries in optimizing the design, delivery, and measurement of health services. Acting as an "integrator," IHS amplifies the impact of the World Health Organization's (WHO) normative guidance, aligning it with the complex reality at the point of care and addressing comprehensive needs. IHS adopts a holistic approach to health and healthcare, recognizing the uniqueness of each person and situation, emphasizing the importance of values, preferences, beliefs, and the context in which healthcare is accessed. Global recognition of unsafe care as a significant public health concern has spurred international advocacy efforts, particularly through the annual Global Ministerial Summits on Patient Safety since 2016. This momentum led to the formal recognition of patient safety as a global health priority by the 72nd World Health Assembly in May2019. This recognition included the adoption of WHA72.6 resolution 'Global action on patient safety,' the establishment of World Patient Safety Day on September 17, and the development of the Global Patient Safety Action Plan (GPSAP) 2021-2030. The key priorities of the PSF unit encompass global patient safety leadership, implementation and monitoring of relevant resolutions and action plans, development of reports, design and implementation of challenges, formulation of policies and strategies, observance of World Patient Safety Day, leadership and capacity-building, collaborative networks, knowledge-sharing platforms, technical resources and tools, patient engagement, metrics and assessments, and research priorities, including digital and innovative approaches.
