It’s World #HandHygiene Day

#CleanHands are key to keep patients & health workers safe, yet:
🔸50% of health care facilities don't have basic hand hygiene facilities at points of care & toilets
🔸3.85 billion people lack a basic hand hygiene service at their health care facility

Stop avoidable infections.

Practice #HandHygiene by using alcohol-based hand sanitizers 🧴 or soap 🧼 and water 🫧
