​Centre for Patient Safety 

Considering the importance of patient safety, Aga Khan University Medical College has established a Centre for Patient Safety(CPS) focused on investigating the conditions affecting patient care, promoting systemic patient safety, identifying medical errors, and developing and implementing preventive strategies.

In line with AKU’s proud history of providing quality care and safety, we aim to:

  • ​Develop & implement patient safety and quality improvement curriculum

  • Conduct studies to scientifically assess the issues of patient safety and quality of care in low-middle-income countries (LMICs)

  • Serve as a regional, national, and global leader in developing and spreading knowledge about improving healthcare quality and delivery within Pakistan and other low and middle-income countries.​​

Message from the Director
"In developing countries like Pakistan, we are focusing more on disease-based care rather than holistic health system-based care. So, a local centre to look at the local problems & help develop locally relevant solutions is the need of our country"
Dr. Asad Latif, Director, Centre for Patient Safety
