Motivating Hospital Hand Hygiene by Focusing on Patients

It is important for everyone to wash their hands. But it is far more important for doctors to wash

their hands. It is not just themselves they are hurting or might infect by not washing their hands,

they are endangering the patients as well. When tested the doctors who were told to consider their

patients washed their hands more, proven by the increased use of soap and hand sanitizer in the

hospitals.

This can affect everyone ho goes to see a doctor because if the doctor has a disease on their hands

they can get you sick as well as the other patients, possibly causing an outbreak.


In my opinion it is disgusting that doctors don't wash their hands.
