Hand Hygiene Program

Hand Hygiene Program was organised by SMF HICC on 9th May 2023 to create awareness about the importance of proper steps of hand hygiene. It is extremely important to prevent the spread of germs, especially in hospital settings and healthcare-related facilities. We at SMF take hand hygiene very seriously, and this program reiterated that we appreciate the healthcare workers who participated enthusiastically in demonstrating the proper steps of hand hygiene.
