| Abstract | WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care provides evidence-based recommendations to improve hand hygiene practices in healthcare settings as a key strategy to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Developed by the World Health Organization, the guidelines synthesize scientific research on the transmission of pathogens via hands and emphasize the importance of proper hand hygiene techniques, including handwashing with soap and water and the use of alcohol-based hand rubs. The document introduces the “My Five Moments for Hand Hygiene” approach to guide healthcare workers in performing hand hygiene at critical points of patient care. It also addresses system change, education, monitoring, and institutional safety climate as essential components for effective implementation. These guidelines serve as a global standard to enhance patient safety, reduce infection rates, and improve the overall quality of healthcare services. | en |
