WHO's annual hand hygiene day is 5 May every year. The SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands campaign aims to progress the goal of maintaining a global profile on the importance of hand hygiene in health care and to ‘bring people together’ in support of hand hygiene and infection prevention and control improvement globally. Find more information here and support the calls to action.
There are a number of resources available here - for adaption and adoption. There is a social media pack and videos will also be launched for use around 5 May and beyond. -
Don’t forget, you have until the 16th July 2019 to participate in the global survey on infection prevention and hand hygiene.
