Everyone has a responsibility to maintain clean hands. The goal of the day, which is observed all across the world, is to draw attention to the role that good hand hygiene has in preventing illness. The promotion of healthy hand hygiene habits can guard against infections and diseases. To stop and slow the spread of disease, it is crucial to keep our hands clean. The goal is to raise awareness of hand hygiene requirements in healthcare facilities as well as the general public, safeguarding both healthcare personnel and the general public from infections. It is beneficial to prevent an infection from spreading and causing more people to suffer and die. Proper hand hygiene practices during the delivery of healthcare save millions of lives.

Since the pandemic, there has been a greater emphasis placed on the promotion of hand hygiene. While there have been many advancements showing strong commitment and advancements in infection prevention control practices, including hand hygiene, overall there exist gaps that still require more effort. Hand hygiene is increasingly acknowledged as a key component of infection prevention by policymakers, health professionals, and members of the general public worldwide. Together, we can move more quickly to stop infections and antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare sector and create a culture of safety where enhancing hand hygiene is given top priority.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
