Background: Patient safety is a global concern despite advancements in healthcare systems, as adverse events continue to impact mortality and morbidity rates. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review is to prioritize emerging areas of concern in patient safety, aiming to identify and understand the evolving challenges that healthcare systems face. Methods: A search strategy was developed using 117 databases, including Pub-Med, Scopus, and Web of Science. Keywords in- cluded "Patient Safety", "Patient harm", "Adverse event", "Challenges in Patient Safety", and "Advancement in Patient Safety". Results: The paper concludes by advocating for "High-Quality health systems" in developing nations, stressing the importance of a comprehensive approach to healthcare. It calls for standardized tools for capturing patient harm, a learning health framework for continuous improvement, and urges policymakers to facilitate information sharing through a public coordination center. Conclusions: Targeted surveillance and interventions are essential for recognising progress and avoiding reliability issues. High qual- ity health systems are needed to improve health outcomes in developing nations, emphasizing thorough assessment, accurate diagno- sis, timely treatment, and access to necessary facilities.
