Global Handwashing Day is an annual event that takes place on October 15th to increase awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives. As part of the event, various resources are available, including posters, planners, and social media toolkits.
The "Always Wash Your Hands" poster, designed for children, shows the key times for handwashing and demonstrates how to properly wash hands. The poster is available in Arabic, Czech, Dutch, English, French, Indonesian, Portuguese, and Spanish. However, there is no information available on the product details, positive or negative aspects, or ingredients or materials used in the poster.
Other resources available for Global Handwashing Day include planners to help organize events and campaigns, social media toolkits with sample messages and graphics, and reports summarizing the outcomes of previous campaigns. The World Health Organization also has a campaign called World Hand Hygiene Day, which takes place on May 5th and focuses on recognizing the importance of hand hygiene and infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities.
