The WHO’s call to action for you is:
- Register your healthcare facility for the WHO SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands global annual campaign, to show commitment to hand hygiene improvement.
- Continue to focus on hand hygiene monitoring and feedback!
Evaluation and repeated monitoring of a range of indicators reflecting hand hygiene infrastructures and practices, as well as health-care workers’ and senior managers’ knowledge and perception of the problem of health care-associated infection and the importance of hand hygiene at the health-care facility, is a vital component of any successful hand hygiene campaign.
- Patients have a voice too!
Identify the best ways to gather patient participation in hand hygiene promotion and improvement, according to the local culture and your facility’s current hand hygiene strategy.
