The session on quality and safety, which had international experts as speakers, was reviewed. Along with this, we reviewed the literature for preventive and reactive measures proposed to manage errors including error reporting and learning systems (ILSs). Concise summary for the same was prepared for this article. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p> We also reviewed the journey of development of our institutional ILS and present here a summary of achievements, challenges, and future vision. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p> Preventive and reactive measures must be followed to achieve high-quality and safe radiotherapy. Despite resource constraints, a successful ILS program can be developed in a low- and middle-income country center by first understanding the patterns of error and developing one that suits the working ecosystem.
