Campaign guide for engaging in World Hand Hygiene Day 5 May 2023

Overview

On this day, WHO renews its support to countries and health facilities in their journey towards hand hygiene improvement and promotes innovation to achieve improvements in hand hygiene practices in health care.

Historically, hospitals and health care facilities throughout the world are invited to take part to continue to raise hand hygiene awareness, to move action to the point of care, and to reduce health care-associated infection (HAI). In 2023, this invitation is particularly addressed to civil society organizations (CSOs) and other partners, such as the members of the WHO Global Infection and Prevention Control (IPC) Network.

Get involved and be part of a global movement to improve hand hygiene at the point of care by using the following campaign assets and ideas. Be sure to visit the World Hand Hygiene Day 2023 webpage for more!
