Abstract

Hand hygiene is an integral part of the health care system and is the single most important measure to reduce transmission of micro-organisms from one person to another or from one site to another on the same patient. Here we present a practice perspective of hand hygiene with literature review. JMS 2018: 21 (2):130-133
