Medical Safety Management Department

Kano General Hospital operates based on our fundamental philosophy: “Practicing Patient-Centered Medicine.” To ensure patients receive care with peace of mind, we continuously work to enhance safety, prevent medical accidents, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Medical Safety Guidelines

  1. Human Error Prevention: We create environments and systems designed to prevent human errors from developing into harm.
  2. Near-Miss Reporting: All staff members report accidents and near-miss experiences to examine countermeasures and improve situation handling.
  3. Rapid Response: In the event of an accident, we provide immediate medical care and establish a rapid reporting system.
  4. Root Cause Analysis: We focus on “what” and “why” to identify systemic factors and prevent recurrence, rather than pursuing individual responsibility.
  5. Informed Consent: We foster a safety culture through thorough explanations and obtaining patient consent before treatment.

Medical Safety Structure

The Medical Safety Management Committee, comprising risk managers from each department, coordinates all organized efforts to promote medical safety activities across the hospital.

Established in December 2012, this office is led by a dedicated medical safety manager (nurse) who collaborates with safety officers for medical devices and pharmaceuticals to prevent clinical accidents.
