Global Handwashing Day

October 15, 2020

Global Handwashing Day is observed on 15 October every year and it was founded by the Global Handwashing Partnership. This day provides an opportunity to design, test and replicate creative ways to encourage people to wash their hands with soap at critical times.
In 2008, the first Global Handwashing Day was celebrated.

The COVID-19 pandemic provides a stark reminder that one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of a virus is also one of the simplest: hand hygiene, especially through handwashing with soap. To beat the virus today and ensure better health outcomes beyond the pandemic, handwashing with soap must be a priority now and in the future.
This year�s theme, Hand Hygiene for All, calls for all of society to achieve universal hand hygiene.

No matter your role, you can celebrate Global Handwashing Day !
