My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene Game

About this course

Increased compliance with hand hygiene at the point of care could prevent millions of health care-associated infections every year and save lives.

Oh, and time is starting to unravel! Can you look after your alien patients and keep Earth safe by performing hand hygiene at the right moments?

The game, developed in collaboration with the WHO Infection Prevention and Control Hub as part of WHO's 'Healthcare without avoidable infections' initiative, is based on the WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care and aims to target two infectious outcomes - microbial cross-transmission and healthcare-associated infections.
