Despite its simplicity, #HandHygiene is still poorly practised in many health care facilities.

Healthcare workers are highly encouraged to always ensure #CleanHands at the point of care.

#UniteForSafety, #TurnNigeriaOrange
Deficiencies in #HandHygiene infrastructure, practices & culture have great impacts on patient & health workers' safety.

Facility managers should ensure the establishment of infection prevention & control programs at their health facilities.

#TurnNigeriaOrange, #UniteForSafety.
The Media play a critical role in shaping narratives & in advocacy that is needed to drive positive health behaviour.

We celebrate our journalists who go the extra mile to ensure the right information reaches the right people at the right time.
