Hand Hygiene

Hand Hygiene

Did you know?

Less than 60% of healthcare workers perform adequate hand hygiene.1

Proper hand hygiene is a critical practice in preventing healthcare-associated infections and should never be replaced by gloves, as gloves alone do not eliminate the need for hand washing. Visual aids, such as hand hygiene posters, play an essential role in reinforcing the importance of hand washing and proper glove use in clinical settings, ensuring consistent adherence to infection control protocols.

Perform hand hygiene before putting on gloves, in between glove changes, when gloves are compromised, and after removing them.
