This year, traditionally, the Georgian Association of Epidemiologists and Infection Control celebrated World Hand Hygiene Day – May 5. This year’s slogan is – “Use gloves sometimes, practice hand hygiene always”.
Regardless of whether gloves are used during patient care, hand hygiene at the right time and with the right technique is still one of the most important measures to protect both healthcare recipients and healthcare personnel. Hand hygiene prevents nosocomial infections and saves many lives!
