Tiny ECLS Letter #74

Tiny ECLS Letter

For those who are also reading the Tiny Perfusion Letter, you can skip the intro (and some articles…)

Or read it again

We’re not here to tell you what to read or what not… 😊

In about one month, it will be World Patient Safety Day

The 2026 edition of World Patient Safety Day focuses on addressing one of the major health concerns affecting billions of people and accounting for 74% of deaths worldwide, namely noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Noncommunicable diseases are long-term conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases, that can affect people of all ages and often require ongoing care throughout life

Can’t say we didn’t tell y’all!
