The impact of health care-related harms on health care systems demonstrates the urgent need for awareness of their severity. The Iberoamerican Journal of Health Law, pioneer in Brazil, dedicates an issue to deepen the reflection on the legal-sanitary aspects of patient safety, recognizing that it is one of the essential issues in the field of health and law.
