Campaigns

World Hand Hygiene Day

The ‘Save Lives: Clean Your Hands’ global campaign was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009. World Hand Hygiene Day is held annually on 5 May.

World Hand Hygiene Day aims to maintain global promotion, visibility and sustainability of hand hygiene in health care and to bring people together in support of hand hygiene improvement around the world.  To promote hand hygiene in the healthcare community, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health care has produced three new factsheets on hand hygiene. These factsheets provide information on hand hygiene for patients and their carers, children and their carers, and mental health workers.
