“It’s in Your Hands” - the official song for the World Hand Hygiene Day (5th of May) Each year, around the world, 16 million patients die from infections acquired during health care delivery. These infections are associated with high costs for patients and their families, and huge financial burden for the society. Good hand hygiene can prevent most of them.
