But did you also know that in healthcare, diseases and bacteria are most often transmitted through the hands of healthcare professionals? This often happens due to insufficient hand washing.  <\/p><p>In Europe, it is precisely these pathogens, who are transmitted through the hands of healthcare providers, that provide 16 million extra days of hospital stays. It is estimated that 37,000 people die each year in Europe from diseases that are transmitted through the hands of a healthcare provider. This means that good hand hygiene can save lives and save healthcare costs.  <\/p><p>Are you sure that you wash your hands correctly as a healthcare professional?
