The WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care provide health-care workers (HCWs), hospital administrators and Health authorities with a thorough review of evidence on Hand Hygiene in Health care and specific recommendations to improve practices and reduce transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to patients and HCWs. The present Guidelines are intended to be implemented in any situation in which Health care is delivered either to a Patient or to a specific group in a population. Therefore, this concept applies to all settings where Health care is permanently or occasionally performed, such as home care by birth attendants. Definitions of health-care settings are proposed in Appendix 1. These Guidelines and the associated WHO Multimodal Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy and an Implementation Toolkit ( ) are designed to offer health-care facilities in Member States a conceptual framework and practical tools for the application of recommendations in practice at the bedside. While ensuring consistency with the Guidelines recommendations, individual adaptation according to local regulations, settings, needs, and resources is desirable.This extensive review includes in one document sufficient technical information to support training materials and help plan implementation strategies. The document comprises six parts.
