As every year, the global handwashing day will take place on October 15th.

This year Theme for the World Hand Hygiene Day 2021: Seconds save lives – clean your hands!

For World Hand Hygiene Day 2021, WHO calls on health care workers and facilities to achieve effective hand hygiene action at the point of care. The point of care refers to the place where three elements come together: the patient, the health care worker, and care or treatment involving contact with the patient or their surroundings. To be effective and prevent transmission of infectious microorganisms during health care delivery, hand hygiene should be performed when it is needed (at 5 specific moments) and in the most effective way (by using the right technique with readily available products) at the point of care. 

The National Sanitation Week is an annual event where professionals working in hygiene and sanitation come together to discuss the latest trends and implementation learnings.
