In recognition of World Hand Hygiene Day, we are reminded that action saves lives and safer care starts with clean hands. 🧼

In the Theatre Unit, where precision and infection prevention are essential, every action matters. Hand hygiene remains one of the most effective ways to protect patients, healthcare teams, and everyone within the care environment. Clean hands are important in every area of healthcare, because safe care begins with the simple habit of cleaning our hands at the right moments.

It is a small action that makes a life saving difference every day.
