In a joint statement with partner organizations, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) linked universal health coverage to the importance of instilling a patient safety culture in the design and delivery of the whole healthcare spectrum.

This covers health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care, with the goal of providing safe, people-centered, accessible, acceptable, affordable, and quality healthcare.

In implementing GPSAP 2021–30, patients, their families, and carers must be engaged in co-creating safe care and primary healthcare strengthened in partnership with family doctors.
