WHO is pleased to announce registrations from new countries, in support of 5 May 2012. The latest countries to have health-care facilities register for SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands are Afghanistan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Zambia. Congratulations to all of those committed to improving hand hygiene in health care in these countries, and in all countries where health-care workers are working to reduce health care-associated infections.
At the beginning of 2009, registrations opened for all hospitals and health-care facilities around the world to show their interest in, and support for this new initiative to promote greater awareness of the importance of hand hygiene at the point of care.
If you have already registered for SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands there is no need to register again each year.
