Andrew Hutchinson+FollowHand Washing: The OG Health HackWho knew something as basic as hand washing could be such a game-changer in healthcare? WHO is reminding everyone that scrubbing up is still the best way to protect both patients and staff from nasty infections. Gloves help, but they’re not a free pass—if you use them wrong, you’re just spreading germs around. And FYI, used gloves are basically biohazard material and need special disposal. Simple, but so easy to forget! #HealthHacks #HandHygiene #Healthcare #WHO #InfectionControl #Health00Share
Melanie James+FollowGloves Aren’t a Free Pass—Wash Up!Turns out, wearing gloves isn’t the infection shield we thought! WHO just dropped a reminder: gloves can help, but they’re not a substitute for good old hand-washing. Relying only on gloves can actually spread more germs and create tons of waste (literally, hospital glove trash weighs as much as hundreds of elephants!). Moral of the story? Don’t skip the soap—clean hands are still the real MVP for staying healthy and protecting others. #HandHygiene #WHO #HealthTips #InfectionPrevention #EcoFriendly #Health30Share
suarezpatricia+FollowGloves Aren’t a Germ Shield?!Thought gloves were your infection-proof armor? WHO just dropped a bomb: gloves alone won’t stop germs from spreading! You still need to wash your hands—gloves are NOT a shortcut. Overusing gloves actually creates more waste (think: 360 elephants’ worth from one hospital a year!). The real MVP? Good old handwashing. Next time you reach for gloves, remember: it’s always about hand hygiene! #HandHygiene #WHO #HealthTips #InfectionPrevention #EcoFriendly #Health40Share
