May 5th is Global Hand Hygiene Day
Date Posted: April 21st, 2023
"Hand hygiene saves millions of lives every year when performed at the right moments during health care delivery. Clean care is a sign of respect to those who seek care, and it protects health and other workers who provide that care. Together, we can galvanize action on preventing infections and antimicrobial resistance in health care. We can accelerate and sustain action at the point of care to keep people safe and healthy." - World Health Organization

"Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself from germs that can make you sick. Regularly washing your hands or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t readily available helps keep you and those around you healthy." - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
