Hand Hygiene is acknowledged as the most effecive method of safeguarding against Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) (MRSA, C Diff, etc) and food bourne illnesses (E coli O157).
An improvement of 20% in hand hygiene can lead to a reduction of 40% in HAIs (W.H.O. published finding).
HAIs cost the European Health Care sector nearly €7 billion a year & kill 90,000 patients in US hospitals with 380,000 in US care homes.(US CDC ref).
