Hand hygiene saves millions of lives every year when performed at the right moments during health care delivery.
Now is a critical time when countries across the world need to accelerate implementation of lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and increase investments to close gaps in infection prevention and control (IPC), including hand hygiene.
Lee Macready, Senior Nurse Infection Prevention and Control: “Hand Hygiene always has been and always will be a key priority for patient-safety in NHS Lanarkshire. Good Hand Hygiene practices remain the single most effective way to reduce the spread of healthcare infections.
