Message Hand hygiene is the single most important

practice for patient safety as it takes only minutes but can literally save lives and

drastically reduce Health care Associated infections (HCAI). Of note, is that

according to the institution of medicine report, HCAI are second to medication errors in adverse events in hospitals.

Therefore, we share in advocating patient safety through “Clean hands save lives”.
