My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene approach defines the key moments when health-care workers should perform hand hygiene. This evidence-based, field-tested, user-centred approach is designed to be easy to learn, logical and applicable in a wide range of settings. This approach recommends health-care workers to clean their hands 1.before touching a patient, 2.before clean/aseptic procedures, 3.after body fluid exposure/risk, 4.after touching a patient 5.after touching patient surroundings

Clean Hands Saves lives
-
Infections that patients get in the hospital is not uncommon and can be life-threatening and hard to treat. Hand hygiene is one of the most important ways to prevent the spread of infections.
-
Healthcare providers should practice hand hygiene at key points in time to disrupt the transmission of microorganisms to patients including: before patient contact; after contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated surfaces (even if gloves are worn); before invasive procedures; and after removing gloves (wearing gloves is not enough to prevent the transmission of pathogens in healthcare settings). For a full list of hand hygiene indications, please see the recommendations in the Hand Hygiene Guideline below .
-
Patients and their loved ones can play a role in helping to prevent infections by practicing hand hygiene themselves as well as asking or reminding their healthcare providers to perform hand hygiene.
