My name is Villain. I am a soldier by profession. I fight for my people with whatever cost. There is a threat globally. It threatens my people and I can’t just sit and watch. Younger children, men at work, women at home, workers at workplaces and my family around me have been victims every now and then. “What shall happen to my next generation?” cross all over my mind every now and then. You see, as my name is I have intended to be a wicked person to save my people. And trust me all of my actions shall be of legacy to my generation, after my generation society. I shall bring down every enemy to its knees at all costs. My weapons are simple but vital. I am villain and hand hygiene is my secret. I use hands in every way. They are my main pathways of germs transmission at home, at the market, while journeying and at my work place. Now who is my enemy? Who is the oppressor of my people? It’s none other than Antimicrobial Resistance. And I shall by all means use my hands and fight this disaster. Why have I chosen hand hygiene as my secret weapon? Thousands of people die every day around the world from infections acquired while receiving and giving. And we act in this using hands. Some while receiving health care. Some die while touching surfaces. So true and I am pretty sure you are now agreeing with me. I repeat hand are main pathways of germ transmission. See I am not a bad person. I simply love my people who sometimes think it’s a bad omen that increases mortality rate among them. No. it is not. Hand hygiene therefore is the most important measure to avoid the transmission of harmful germs and prevent infections. Well I am not alone in this. See it has been said and will be said “alone one goes faster, united longest distance is achieved”! I would like everyone around me to join me, fight with me, defend with me. If one believes in God let him pray to him, whatever supernatural power you believe in it really doesn’t matter but please tell it to remind you about my secret weapon of hand hygiene. Any person. Worker caregiver weather you are directly or indirectly involved needs to be concerned about hand hygiene and should be able to perform it correctly and at the right time. I guess you have now agreed to join me in my fight. Kindly move with me and I will take you through every step i always take. Clean your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol based formulation. As the preferred mean for routine hygienic hand antisepsis, if hands are not visibly soiled. It is faster, more effective, and better tolerated by your hands than washing with soap and water. I am pretty sure you are aware of hand sanitizers. After COVID 19 pandemic hand sanitizers became so popular. May I take this opportunity to congratulate a bank branch near my neighborhood for always placing hand sanitizers at the entrance and exit door. So I got friends you know. Door surfaces are areas with most transmission. Either be it public or not. Chances of transmission are so huuuuuuuge and frightening. Just a week passed since we buried my friend’s grandma. Hand sanitizers where everywhere just to make sure no transmission takes place through our hands. And every single person had to abide to the procedure for your safety. So a big congratulation to my friends out there who keeps fighting our enemy through hand wash. Another way of hand hygiene is through hand wash. I wash my hands. Believe me, I won’t eat unless I have washed my hands with soap and water. I come to your home, we shall surely not eat unless you give soap and water and I will not take an excuse. Wash your hands with soap and water when hands are visibly dirty or visibly soiled with any unfit thing or other body fluids or after using the toilet. To my fellow friends in a healthcare industry, if potential spore-forming pathogens is strongly suspected or proven, including outbreaks of microbes such as Clostridium difficile, handwashing with soap and water if the preferred means. source; Omdirigeringsmeddelande So when am I practicing hand hygiene? See me ass villain I have five moments for hand hygiene. I will mention them don’t worry. 1. Before touching surfaces, 2. before performing any work in my kitchen or workplace, 3. after being exposed to any undesirable fluid, 4. after I am done touching surfaces and 5. after performing all other procedures. Can you even guess why I am doing this? Well, I hope you can. You see I really don’t to be the source of germs by bringing them in that’s why before every activity I practice hand hygiene and I surely don’t want to send them to another person or myself. Hope you see how much I am protective over my beloved ones. Oops! They could harm me too. No I want to live long. And of course a healthy living. So I am this keen my friend. Please let me explain why these five moments. I will explain each. Before touching surfaces. To protect surfaces or my personal properties against infections, by harmful germs carried in my hands. Before performing any work in my kitchen or workplace. Now this protects me from infections and harmful germs and it protects my workplace from germ spread. After being exposed to any undesirable fluid. To protect me from harming myself or carry germs to my friends. I stop germs from spreading in here. After I am done touching surfaces. I am here protecting myself by stopping germs from entering my body. No no I don’t want this. after performing all other procedures. To protect from germs which might have been carried that were possibly present on surfaces and objects. I guard all my surroundings through this way. See whenever I think of Antimicrobial Resistance this comes to mind. Imagine all these germs present in our surroundings like this come across our medications with no precautions. You will agree with me if it is like this then Antimicrobial resistance is inevitable. But having our bold faces we can’t allow microbes to overcome us. We don’t want to go back to that era when we had no medications. source;Omdirigeringsmeddelande Let me challenge you. Wash hands. Rub hands. Practice hand hygiene. Whenever, wherever. I am villain, I have plotted this. Transmission and Resistance shall never be successful. I will fight, you fight. Not only because of pandemic, but because you care for yourself and you care for your friends and your people. Just do it for your people. My people was hands. Tell your people to wash hands. Mwalimu Nyerere once said “If any young men and women who are given an education by the people of this republic adopt attitudes of superiority, or fail to use their knowledge to help the development of this country, then they are betraying our union”.
