Hospital Acquired Infection: Role of Hand Washing by Subhashish Das in surgery and case studies open access journals in lupine publishers
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared October 15 as Global Hand washing Day, with the aim of raising awareness on the importance of this art and to inculcate the tenet of its basic principles. In fostering this principle, the WHO introduced five critical moments of hand hygiene practice. These include washing hands before touching a patient, before performing cleaning procedures, after coming in contact with infectious materials such as body fluid (urine, feces, sputum), after touching a patient, and after touching a patient surroundings. In hospitals often, greater attention is placed on the doctors and nurses however, other supporting staffs such as the ward attendant, clinical assistant, and laboratory attendants play vital role to patient recovery. Ward attendants are involved in hazardous jobs which expose them to the risk of infection; they also handle patients and their items; hence, they may become vehicle for spread of nosocomial infection, so knowledge of the principles of hand hygiene and handwashing should be paramount in this category of health workers. Similarly, laboratory attendants are exposed to infectious biproducts; them to health hazard.
