16 Jan 2025 | Lenias Hwenda | Let's Talk about Health in Africa | Reimagining Patient Safety | Prof Henrietta Hughes OBE I UK Patient Safety Commissioner. How do we ensure health innovation and clinical care truly improves lives—without leaving patients at risk? In this episode of the Utano Podcast, Dr. Lenias Hwenda speaks with Prof. Henrietta Hughes, the world’s first Patient Safety Commissioner, about why giving patients an independent voice is shaping the future of patient safety—and what Africa can learn from the UK’s experience. 🔍 In this conversation, we explore: • Why patient safety failures often stem from systems that do not listen. • What it means to design safety into innovation, regulation, and clinical care. • The role of independent patient voices in improving accountability. • Lessons from Martha’s Rule and other system level safety interventions. • How lived patient experience can prevent harm before it happens. • The impact of culture, leadership, and transparency on safety outcomes. • Preparing patient centred regulatory systems for AI and digital health. • What African health leaders and regulators can adapt from global practice 🌍 As Africa’s health systems innovate and evolve, this episode offers timely reflections on how to build safer, more responsive, and more human‑centred healthcare systems—by putting patients at the heart of decision‑making from the start. 👉 Subscribe for more conversations on health policy, innovation, and systems strengthening across Africa. 👉 Share this episode with leaders, regulators, clinicians, and innovators working to improve patient safety.
