“Let’s wash our hands” is the initiative planned for tomorrow in the pediatric department of the Annunziata hospital in Cosenza by the “Clinical Risk” operational unit directed by Ottavio Stefano, as part of the World Hand Hygiene Day, promoted by the World Health Organization. The management of the hospital communicates this.
At 10 am, young patients, but the initiative is also aimed at external children, will be shown the correct methods of hand washing to prevent infections. The children will also be invited, in a playful way, to a practical test, with verification of correct sanitization using the “scanner test”.
“The WHO campaign ‘Save lives: sanitize your hands’ – it said in a note – aims to raise awareness globally on the importance of hand hygiene as an effective tool for preventing infections and strengthening awareness and commitment of everyone, and in particular of healthcare workers, through the dissemination of good practices.
Small gestures done correctly contribute substantially to preventing the spread of pathogens.
Hand hygiene, in fact, is an extremely simple, fast and low-cost procedure, which however has a high importance in the healthcare sector”.
