International Hand Hygiene Day at HUGlywood Boulevard
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – To celebrate World Hand Hand Hygiene Day, the Geneva University Hospital (HUG) is finding inspiration from Hollywood to create its own “hand hygiene boulevard” Monday 7 May.
The HUG says its goal is to alert the public, patients and its own staff to the dangers of infections contracted at hospital and the importance of hand sterilization.
Participants will have the chance to leave their hand prints and be filmed, just like the Hollywood stars, while learning about infection and hand hygiene.
The lunchtime event takes place a week and a half before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.
