Today, we applaud the dedication of Nurses and Midwives across Nigeria. Thank you for your selfless service in delivering safe healthcare in #Nigeria.

We enjoin all healthcare workers to continue to #TakeResponsibility by being ambassadors of good #HandHygiene to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including #COVID19.

#WorldHandHygieneDay

#SupportNursesAndMidwives

Business owners & facility managers should promote #HandHygiene at all times by providing adequate hand hygiene supplies such as running water, soap & hand sanitiser in all shared spaces.

#InfectionPreventionControl

Despite its simplicity, #HandHygiene is still poorly practised in many health care facilities.

Healthcare workers are highly encouraged to always ensure #CleanHands at the point of care.

#UniteForSafety, #TurnNigeriaOrange

Deficiencies in #HandHygiene infrastructure, practices & culture have great impacts on patient & health workers' safety.

Facility managers should ensure the establishment of infection prevention & control programs at their health facilities.

#TurnNigeriaOrange, #UniteForSafety.

Improving the quality & safety of health care through informed #IPC practices such as #HandHygiene bolsters the feeling of protection by patients & healthcare workers.

Dr Tochi Okwor, our #IPC Lead, urges us all to improve hand hygiene for a quality & safer healthcare climate.
