On May 5th, the International Day of Hand Hygiene reminds us how essential proper hygiene and disinfection are. Together with the World Health Organization (WHO), we raise awareness each year. So let’s keep those fins moist – for effective hygiene and to protect our health.
This year’s slogan – “Why is sharing knowledge about hand hygiene still so important? Because it helps stop the spread of harmful pathogens in healthcare” – reminds us that we must continually reassess our hygiene habits. Most pathogens are transmitted through our hands. That’s why we are committed to increasing the willingness to perform hand disinfection.
The most effective method to disinfect our hands is to keep them continuously moist throughout the recommended contact time. Especially in healthcare settings, consistent hand hygiene is essential. We are confident that using the right hand disinfectant helps protect our skin and increases the frequency of use.
At Dr. Schumacher, we work with our partners to ensure hygiene is simple and accessible for everyone at all times. So let’s keep those fins moist and protect everyone’s health – on May 5th and beyond.
