Today is World Hand Hygiene Day!

The World Health Organization calls on health workers to ‘Wash Hands and Save Lives’ I believe the importance of hand hygiene by all, especially health workers was clearly demonstrated during the Ebola scare. Just a fleeting touch or contact with a contaminated surface was enough to cause an infection!

So, since the Ebola scare, what are the key learning points you have taken away and still practice with regards to hand hygiene? If you have children, what important lessons have you taught them? What does hand hygiene mean to you?

I’d love to hear from you all.

Hygiene is two thirds of health!

I hope you had a great day at work today?
