Clean Care is Safer Care

SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands - WHO's global annual campaign

Five steps to 5 May 2012 - What's YOUR plan?

Our 2012 call to action was "create your action plan based on your facility's results using the WHO Hand Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework".
Congratulations to everyone who has worked hard to be part of the celebrations for the fourth year of WHO SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands. The commitment again has been overwhelming and demonstrates that there is truly a global momentum for improving patient safety through clean hands year on year.
