 Introduction
It is important to maintain good hygiene in order to stay healthy. The term "hygiene"
encompasses a wide range of topics. One of them is a clean hand. Hands are frequently touched
on a variety of surfaces and might be directly contaminated. Various health agencies, notably the
World Health Organization, encourage hand washing at regular intervals. Hand hygiene is now
widely recognised as one of the most critical aspects of infection prevention. As the burden of
health-care-associated infections (HCAIs) grows, as does the severity of illness and treatment
complexity, all of which are exacerbated by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen infections,
health-care practitioners (HCPs) are reverting back to the basics of infection prevention by
simple measures such as hand hygiene. This is because there is enough scientific data to suggest
that appropriate hand cleanliness can greatly lower the risk of infection cross-transmission in
healthcare facilities (HCFs)1-5. Hand sanitization has been shown to minimize the spread of
healthcare-associated microorganisms and the occurrence of HCAI (healthcare associated
infections). Hand hygiene is defined as the washing of your hands with soap and water, antiseptic
hand washes, alcohol-based hand sanitizers (ABHS), or surgical hand antiseptics, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are
increasingly being utilized in hospital settings instead of soap and water for hand cleansing.
Hand washing and/or hand hygiene are recognized to be troublesome in hospital settings, and
they are a primary source of infections caught while patients are hospitalized. While hand
washing and hygiene regulations and training are important and can help reduce the transmission
of diseases, the problem of illnesses caused by poor hygiene among
