Hands of Health care Professional (HCF) continue to be common mode of transmission of Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI). Therefore, effective hand hygiene practices are the cornerstone among all the measures to prevent HAIs. Conducting frequent auditing of hand hygiene practices will surely help to improve the compliance rate of hand hygiene. The objective of this study is to conduct continuous auditing of hand hygiene (HH) compliance in different sections of ICUs. This is an annual study (March 2019-March 2020) of hand hygiene compliance in a tertiary care hospital.
