About this topic
Risk Management in Healthcare is the proactive process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that could harm patients, staff, or the organization. For Zambian tertiary health students, this includes clinical risks (e.g., infections, errors), financial risks, operational risks, and reputational risks. Students learn to implement risk registers, incident reporting systems, and safety protocols in Zambian health facilities. This knowledge is vital for exams and for creating a culture of safety, protecting assets, ensuring business continuity, and meeting accreditation standards, thereby improving trust in and the resilience of healthcare services in Zambia.
