As well as being #IDM2024 international day of the midwife it is World Hand Hygiene Day #WorldHandHygieneDay midwives would be the first to say how important this is. We know hand hygiene saves lives & critically reduces healthcare acquired infections. This day and everyday at home, at work & in clinical settings - clean hands. It’s not just for a pandemic. #handhygiene when you meet a healthcare worker ask ‘have you washed your hands’ @HSELive@roinnslainte @DonnellyStephen

Clean hands are critical in keeping patients and #HealthWorkers safe, yet only 29% of healthcare facilities in #Africa have basic sanitation services.
Access to safe water, sanitation & hygiene prevents drug resistance infections, saving lives.
