What is World Hand Hygiene Day?
World Hand Hygiene Day is the World Health Organization's annual SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands campaign, held on 5 May since 2009 — five fingers on each hand. It reminds health workers and everyone else that clean hands at the right moments stop infections from spreading in care and at home.
