Optimal hand hygiene with Saniswiss Hand Hygiene

Challenge

For years now, Hand Hygiene has been recognized as the most important tool in preventing the spread of healthcare-as-sociated infections (HAI). Indeed, through compliant Hand Hygiene practices most HAI are preventable. Nevertheless, even recent studies (2019), show evidence of poor compliance rate in the healthcare units.

Therefore, there is still a lot to achieve prevent HAI with Hand Hygiene. That is why Saniswiss is a member of the Private Organizations for Patient Safety (POPS), a program which was launched by WHO with one aim: promoting Hand Hygiene Guidelines to increase Patient Safety on a global scale.

Solution

We believe that in regard to Hand Hygiene, IPC managers should never compromise on quality and always look for “tolerance for compliance”.

In addition to the multi-modal strategy from WHO, which is key to increase compliance in Hand Hygiene practices and thus reducing HAI, we believe in offering offer products to healthcare workers that respect their skin, their health, and their environment.

We offer a complete range of products safe for healthcare workers’ health and environment which are all SAFE certified:
