Are you in
Safe Hands?
Understanding the how, what, why, where,
and when of handwashing today
Be it pandemic or not, one sector that must compulsively follow hand
hygiene is the healthcare sector. While we are familiar with the traditional
ways of washing hands, in-out, out-in, up, down, all around, and sanitizing
them, when it comes to healthcare, there have been situations where this
ritual gets knowingly or unknowingly compromised. This is a pain point,
especially for personnel from the healthcare space as they are constantly
in contact with contaminated surfaces and have even more reason to avoid
cross-contamination. Clean India Journal is revisiting the topic of hand
hygiene to understand the latest innovations that can simplify processes or
create reminders for doctors who will be examining patients in the operation
theatre (OT), out-patient ward (OPD), or casual ward.
