DESCRIPTION:\n	By 2026\, hand hygiene compliance monitoring and feedback
	 should be established as a key national indicator\, at the very least in 
	all reference hospitals. Currently 68% of countries report they are doing 
	this. World Hand Hygiene Day in 2025 coincides with the need for countrie
	s to rapidly consider implementation of the global action plan and monito
	ring framework on infection prevention and control (IPC) – supported by
	 a guide to implementation – and the need to continue to improve IPC as 
	demonstrated in the latest WHO IPC global report.\n\n\n\n	Additionally\, 
	the WHO Framework for Action 2024-2030 focused on WASH\, waste and elect
	ricity services highlights the need for universal safe access to ensure qu
	ality of care (linked to climate and health)\, including by integrating WA
	SH and waste requirements into health system planning\, programming\, fina
	ncing\, implementation and monitoring\, which can in part be supported by 
	IPC efforts.\n\n\n\n	Therefore\, it is recognised that at this time countr
	ies and health care facilities should continue to highly prioritize optima
	l hand hygiene practices (using the appropriate technique and according to
	 the WHO 5 Moments) alongside appropriate glove use\, including through gr
	eater awareness and supported by IPC practitioners as part of an IPC team 
	and programme.\n\n\n\n	Objectives\n\n\n\n	\n		To highlight the IPC situati
	on globally including the need for investment cases\, and the impact of op
	timal hand hygiene practices (using the appropriate technique and accordi
	ng to the WHO 5 Moments)\n	\n	\n		To highlight the need for on-going promo
	tion of appropriate glove use\, alongside hand hygiene action.\n	\n	\n		To
	 raise awareness of the environmental and climate impact of gloves on wa
	ste generation and management.\n	\n	\n		To outline the role of hand hygien
	e within national IPC strategies\, as well as standard operating procedur
	es (SOPs) at facility level\, according to the recommendations of the WHO 
	global action plan and monitoring framework 2024-2030 and highlight a new 
	WHO guide to implementation.\n	\n	\n		To showcase how World Hand Hygiene D
	ay plays a role in bringing people together and raising the profile of IPC
	 improvement as one part of IPC national and health facility programmes.\n
