World Hand Hygiene Day 2024 campaign
This communications kit supports the promotion of World Hand Hygiene Day, a WHO global initiative, on 5 May.
World Hand Hygiene Day is a global initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and held on 5 May each year. Show your support by downloading and sharing the content on your website, social networks or within your health service.
You are encouraged to use these resources to raise awareness about how hand hygiene can help save lives by preventing the spread of infection.
The WHO’s 2024 slogan is: ‘Why is sharing knowledge about hand hygiene still so important? Because it helps stop the spread of harmful germs in healthcare.’
By promoting World Hand Hygiene Day, you can help reinforce the importance of hand hygiene to prevent healthcare-associated infections, infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
