Global Handwashing Day 2022:A Message Of Universal Hand Hygiene

This year’s theme, “Unite for Universal Hand Hygiene”, calls on all of society to work together as we scale up hand hygiene and it reminds us that we are united in our vision for universal access and practice of hand hygiene. No matter your role, you can celebrate Global Handwashing Day.
