Why is sharing knowledge about hand hygiene still so important?
For health workers, hand hygiene is a very effective way to keep people safe from infection.
For you and me, hand hygiene helps stop the spread of harmful germs in healthcare.

Everything that goes into the human body has direct or indirect links with the hands. The hands play a role in delivering healthcare–from medication prescribing, to medical procedures and diagnosis. So, hand hygiene is key in breaking the chain of infection.

Mohammed Manga The economic cost of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) is burdensome. We need to start thinking of the 'Naira and Kobo' consequences of HAIs on our economy. The cost of treating HAIs is capable of sending a patient and their caregivers/family into poverty.

The healthcare environment can become so overwhelming that health workers may forget to often do . We must therefore set up functional infrastructure, leadership, support & systems that make it easy for health workers to maintain a culture of hand hygiene.

Infections from our health facilities affect our communities, and vice versa. We need to ensure that resources and hand hygiene facilities, like clean water, which enable the culture of hand hygiene, are available and functional in our community health centres.

With the interconnectedness of our world today, it is not a question of if another global outbreak will occur but when & where it will happen.

We must invest in robust healthcare systems, surveillance & research to detect & respond to diseases effectively.
