ABSTRACT

Hand hygiene is a simple, economical and high impact technique at the community level, especially in food handling and excreta disposal. At the hospital level, in many cases it prevents the transmission of related diseases in health care. It is essential to educate staff about what types of activities can cause contamination, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods used for hand hygiene. This article reviews the different substances and methods related to this procedure. Permanent staff training should be a pillar of the program, but also monitor the adherence of health professionals to recommendations by providing information on the results and actions based on the WHO multimodal strategy. This allows to obtain real information in the attachment to the hygiene of hands by the personnel to feedback actions aimed at improving this. Its impact on both reducing morbidity and mortality in hospitals is unprecedented.
