Clean Hands Save Lives: Celebrating World Hand Hygiene Day

Every year on May 5, the world comes together to recognize the power of clean hands in preventing the spread of infections. At Evans Therapeutics Limited, we proudly join the global community in observing World Hand Hygiene Day, reinforcing our commitment to promoting a healthier Nigeria through hygiene awareness and education.

The campaign—initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO)—reminds us that proper hand hygiene is not just a health practice; it’s a life-saving act. Whether in hospitals, schools, homes, or offices, clean hands prevent diseases and reduce healthcare-associated infections.

 

The 2025 Theme: “Accelerate Action Together”

This year’s theme, “Accelerate Action Together”, calls on everyone—from healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies to educators, community leaders, and individuals—to take unified action toward improving hand hygiene.

 

Evans Therapeutics supports this global movement through:

    • Health education campaigns to raise awareness about effective hand hygiene.
    • Support for hospitals and clinics with quality antimicrobial and hygiene products.
    • Advocacy for behavioral change in public and private spaces.
    • Product innovation aligned with infection prevention goals.

The Science Behind Hand Hygiene

Studies show that proper hand hygiene can reduce the incidence of respiratory infections by up to 20% and diarrheal disease by up to 40%. Simple actions like washing hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer significantly cut down the spread of pathogens.

 

At Evans Therapeutics, we provide essential hygiene solutions, including disinfectants, antiseptics, and hand sanitizers, all manufactured to WHO standards.

 

Our Ongoing Commitment

Evans Therapeutics Limited has consistently demonstrated leadership in health promotion through:

    • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs focused on infection control.
    • Partnerships with public health organizations to extend hygiene education.Community outreach efforts targeting schools, marketplaces, and rural health centres.
