Abstract
Hand hygiene (HH) has been singled out as a core element of patient safety for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Cleansing hands with alcohol-based hand rub is a simple and undemanding procedure that requires only a few seconds. Although we already had the five components of the WHO Multimodal Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy implemented in our facility and a steady mandatory training program, compliance remains stable, with no further increase for many months.
