While preparing for my training sessions
on chapter 5 – Hospital Infection Control, I came across an interesting video
on Youtube. The video has been prepared by DebMed Healthcare and covers the WHO
‘5 Moments’. The video focuses on Hand Hygiene and presents the idea in an
interesting Rap where you will 5 boys and girls, apparently nurses, dance and
enact various situations (5 Moments) where hand hygiene can prevent the spread
of infection. Have a look at this short entertaining video!
Notice at 2:15 it is shown that
the doctor doesn’t comply with the hand hygiene and the nurse stops him and
sends him back to use the sanitizer.
While it may come as a cultural
shock to Indian hospitals, the fact is that it is part of NABH compliance too. The latest NABH 3rd edition talks about Infection Prevention and Control. To prevent the
infections from spreading, strict hand hygiene is a must. And I think it is a
sensible organizational culture to have where each employee can demand
compliance from every other employee.
