WHO Launches Hygiene Campaign Ahead of World Hand Hygiene Day

Clinical Practice; Programs and Resources
 

In tandem with World Hand Hygiene Day on May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization has launched the Clean Your Hands Campaign as a way to strengthen and empower communities to improve hand hygiene and minimize the risk of infection and development of antimicrobial resistance in health care. This campaign guide provides valuable information on hand hygiene and access to resources such as technical resources and trainings. 

The use of good hand hygiene, including using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or washing your hands with soap and water, is effective in the prevention of the spread of germs and infections.
