World Hand Hygiene Day 2022

Lighthouse Environmental Infection Prevention is proud to support World Hand Hygiene Day on May 5th, with our Partner Surewash.  It is very simple, washing hands save lives!

When a facility's "quality and safety climate or culture" values and prioritizes hand hygiene, this results in an environment where staff, patients, visitors, guests, students, teachers etc., feel safe, protected and cared for. 

To prioritize clean hands in all types of facilities, people at all levels need to believe in the importance of hand hygiene to save lives, by acting as key players in achieving the appropriate behaviors and attitudes towards it.

This year's theme for World Hand Hygiene Day is focused on recognizing that we can add to a facility's climate or culture of safety and quality through cleaning our hands but also that a strong quality and safety culture will encourage people to clean hands at the right times and with the right products.

Unite, talk and work together on hand hygiene for high quality safer care everywhere.
