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.
