Unite for Safety, Clean your Hands

It’s almost our favourite time of the year – World Hand Hygiene Day!

We are proud to once again support World Hand Hygiene Day, 2022 on 5th May. This years theme focuses on recognizing that we can add to a facility’s climate or culture of safety and quality through hand hygiene. It also aims to promote that a strong quality and safety culture encourages people to clean their hands at the right times and with the right products.

When a healthcare facility’s “quality and safety climate or culture” values hand hygiene and infection prevention and control (IPC), this results in both patients and health workers feeling protected and cared for. People at all levels need to believe in the importance of hand hygiene and IPC to save lives. We all play a part in achieving the appropriate behaviours and attitudes towards hand hygiene and IPC.
