The purpose of this activity is to support the global culture of handwashing with soap or hand sanitizer. As one of the initiators of “Global Handwashing Day”, UNICEF actively promotes the handwashing campaign with children’s participation as the main part all over the world, calling on people to use actions to wake everyone up to wash their hands correctly, using soap or hand sanitizer to prevent diseases; to promote improving hygiene behavior, especially to guide children to build good habits from an early age; to advocate the government and the community to improve environmental hygiene, including hand washing facilities.
Washing hands with soap is a life-saving intervention that all countries and communities can do technically and economically. 16 million patients worldwide die from nosocomial infections every year. Hand hygiene can prevent 30% of nosocomial infections. Reducing nosocomial infections through hand hygiene can save 5-8 million lives every year. In our daily work and life, many things are done with our hands. Hand washing is the easiest and most effective way to avoid cross-infection and stop the spread of bacteria. A small move saves lives and saves health resources for human society. Daily handwashing brings significant benefits to personal health, but be careful not to wash your hands too frequently as the soap might hurt your skin. Here WHO has tips for you.
