Hand Hygiene Awareness Day 5 May 2013

SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands annual campaign

Good hand hygiene is of prime importance in preventing infections. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has committed to support World Health Organization (WHO)’s global initiative - SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands and continues to actively promote hand hygiene in healthcare facilities.

This year the Centre for Health Protection of Department of Health has developed a series of promotional materials, served as reminder of the five moments for hand hygiene and seven steps for handrubbing, helping to sustain hand hygiene practice among healthcare workers.
