Global Handwashing Day

October 15th was Global Handwashing Day

This annual campaign is designed to raise awareness on the importance of handwashing and how this simple action can help to prevent diseases and save lives.

Each year, 1.7 Million children die from diarrhoea & pneumonia. An alarming figure when you think that handwashing can significantly help to prevent these deaths.

 Not only are these infections traumatic for children, adults are just as vulnerable and it is these types of infections that lead to high levels of absenteeism.

Research has shown that good hand hygiene practices can help reduce illness and absenteeism in a variety of settings from a 21% reduction in the workplace1 to a 50% reduction in primary schools.

 Handwashing isn’t just about having the right resources available but also about behaviour, therefore it is essential that people know when to wash their hands and understand why.
