Hi Everyone,

This year’s world hand hygiene day is on Monday May 5, 2025.

As a way to better support each facility with planning for one of the most important days in IPAC, we will be offering on-site interactive activities that are open to both residents and staff.

For those organizations that prefer to plan events in-house themselves, we have curated a list of potential activities to get you in the festive mood and that are easy to do on-the-spot with your teams and residents.

We’ve also included some printable resources and videos to post for your team members as well.

Please click on the card to access information about our Hand Hygiene Fiesta, for some ideas on interactive activities, or for the printable resources/videos.

Remember: poor hand hygiene practices accounts for 136 million cases of healthcare associated infections worldwide!
