Story at-a-glance
  • Despite its life-saving importance, proper hand hygiene is unavailable in 40% of global health facilities, including hospitals where staff often wear the same gloves between patients
  • Gloves create a false sense of security and are not substitutes for handwashing, which should occur before and after glove use to prevent dangerous cross-contamination
  • For most routine patient care, clean hands alone are sufficient, while gloves should be reserved only for contact with blood, body fluids or broken skin
  • Improper glove use creates significant environmental waste, with an average large hospital discarding 1,634 tons of glove-related waste annually
  • Every dollar invested in hand hygiene delivers up to $24.60 in health and economic returns, making it one of the most cost-effective medical interventions available
