This Is Our Story

There is no other patient safety practice that involves every healthcare staff without exception. Hand hygiene the ideal catalyst to build and sustain a safety culture in any healthcare institution.  Its ubiquity and simplicity has the power to unify every institution in the world to row in the same direction in the fight against HAI. The sum of each hospital's contribution will then truly be greater than its part.
