“Accelerate action together. SAVE LIVES – Clean Your Hands” - World Hand Hygiene Day

Hand hygiene is a critical aspect of healthcare that saves millions of lives every year when performed at the right moments. Hand hygiene is essential in preventing the spread of infections in healthcare.

This week is World Hand Hygiene Day, this year's theme is Accelerate action together. SAVE LIVES – Clean Your Hands.

As a medical supplier company, we understand the importance of infection prevention and control (IPC), including hand hygiene, in ensuring the health and safety of healthcare workers, employees, customers, and communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for healthcare workers to prioritise their health and hygiene and the health and hygiene of patients and their communities.

We encourage our customers always to remember The World Health Organization's (WHO) five moments for hand hygiene.

Healthcare workers are strongly encouraged to follow these moments to prevent the transmission of infections. Proper hand hygiene can reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

As a medical supplier company, we understand the importance of IPC and hand hygiene in ensuring the health and safety of healthcare workers, employees, customers, and communities. We offer a range of antiseptic hand rubs that meet the highest standards of quality and effectiveness.

We inspire healthcare facilities to promote a culture of safety and quality that helps prioritise improving hygiene. By working together, we can minimise the risk of infections and the development of AMR in healthcare.

On this World Hand Hygiene Day, let's renew our commitment to hand hygiene and take action to save lives.
