“Why is sharing knowledge about hand hygiene still so important? Because it helps stop the spread of harmful germs in healthcare” ― with this slogan the WHO runs its annual campaign, celebrating the World Hand Hygiene Day on the 5th of May, which invites you to join it with us, using our original posters available for download below.
Why is hand hygiene so important? Because it is one of the most effective ways to fight against infections, preventing their spread. It is vital to increase our knowledge of health care associated infections and following appropriate recommendations, including hand hygiene (for example, Your 5 moments of hand hygiene) to create a safe and responsible culture together.
This 2024-year campaign aims to remind us that sharing knowledge about hand hygiene and infection prevention and control (IPC) is critical, because hand hygiene saves millions of lives when performed at the right time in health care, despite 136 million cases of healthcare-associated infections occurring worldwide every year.
SARAYA's 5th of May 2024 original posters aim to raise awareness about the importance of hand hygiene in healthcare settings. Proper hand hygiene practices can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, which could even promote overall health and well-being. These posters serve as a reminder that hand hygiene is everyone’s responsibility.
SARAYA supports healthcare workers by providing training and knowledge about infection prevention and control worldwide. For more information, visit our healthcare solutions page.
