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.
Join us to take a pledge today to #CleanYourHands, stop the spread of infections through good #HandHygiene and save lives!

Take the pledge and share: https://getdp.co/WHHD2022

#TurnNigeriaOrange #HandHygieneDay #UniteForSafety
Scientific evidence demonstrates that appropriate #HandHygiene prevents up to 50% of avoidable infections.

Today, we join the global community to celebrate #WorldHandHygieneDay2022, with the theme, #UniteForSafety: Clean Your Hands.

#TurnNigeriaOrange
Business owners & facility managers should promote quality & safety culture to ensure clean hands always

Thank you for providing adequate #InfectionPreventionControl supplies such as running water, soap & hand sanitiser in all shared spaces.

#UniteForSafety #TurnNigeriaOrange
Avoidable infections can occur in health care facilities 🏥 in the absence of #HandHygiene.

Policymakers are urged to prioritise resources, training and programmes that improve #CleanHands practices at points of care across the country.

#UniteForSafety, #TurnNigeriaOrange
In 2019, we launched the #TurnNigeriaOrange campaign, a strategy for our National #InfectionPreventionandControl programme, with an overarching goal to support, establish & mentor a network of healthcare facilities across Nigeria to serve as centres of excellence for #IPC.

Yesterday, the #NCDCTeam joined the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, a centre of excellence in the #OrangeNetwork to commemorate the #WorldHandHygieneDay2022.

We continue to work with health facilities in the network to consolidate the milestones recorded so far.
