The Action Clean Hands campaign has set itself the goal to establish hand disinfection as a focus for enhancing the quality and safety of patient care in hospitals in Germany by the year 2010. This issue has become even more important with the current spread of influenza.
As part of the campaign, a workshop on hospital hygiene was organised on November 12th in Frankfurt. Experts were invited to talk about personal and organisational measures and practices for hand hygiene taking into consideration legal and technical requirements.
