Several educational videos on the importance of hand hygiene can be incorporated into hospitals’ and health systems’ future awareness campaigns.
Below are four such videos:
“Put Your Hands Together” from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
“Hand Hygiene Saves Lives” from the CDC
“CleanMakers” from the Infection Control Programme of the University of Geneva Hospitals
“Hand Hygiene” from the New England Journal of Medicine
