Geneva Jet d'Eau with a touch of orange
Lighting up a monument in orange is the signature mark of World Patient Safety Day. The colour orange symbolizes the central role patient safety plays in countries’ efforts to achieve universal health coverage. This symbolic gesture in September 2020 represented a very visible public recognition of health workers’ efforts globally to provide safe health care every single day for their patients. On 17 September 2020, the city of Geneva and cities across the globe lit up prominent monuments.
