5 Moments For Medication Safety Infographic

According to the WHO:

"The 5 Moments for Medication Safety patient engagement tool focuses on 5 key moments where action by the patient or caregiver can reduce the risk of harm associated with the use of medication/s. This tool aims to engage and empower patients to be involved in their own care. It should be used in collaboration with health professionals, but should always remain with the patients, their families or caregivers."

1. visit a primary health care facility;

3. visit a pharmacy;

4. are admitted to a health care facility;

5. are transferred to another health care facility;
