This session is one in a series of sessions over 2020-2022 that have sought to shine a spotlight on the critical role of hand hygiene in outbreak prevention and control, and as a cornerstone of public health more broadly. By sharing country experiences and lessons the desired outcome is a stimulating discussion on opportunities and challenges ahead. These will feed into the May 2022 Hygiene Summit in Singapore, where donors in particular will be mobilized, but also into the WHO-led process to strengthen the normative framework for hand hygiene through new Guidelines on hand hygiene in the community setting.
