The slogan of this year’s World Hand Hygiene Day campaign is “Fight antibiotic resistance … it’s in your hands,” according to an article on the Infection Control Today website.
The campaign, which kicks off May 5, stresses the relationship between practices like washing hands and preventing antibiotic resistance.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is asking policy-makers to stop antibiotic resistance spread by making infection prevention and hand hygiene a national policy priority.
“I urge all healthcare workers to ensure adequate hand hygiene and all health care facilities to join in the “SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands” campaign and commit to improving hand hygiene practices to help save more lives,” said Dr. Mahmoud Fikri, WHO regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean.
