Manipal : The doctors, nursing staff of Kasturba Medical College and Hospital Manipal, and professional health care institutions comprising of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, School of Allied Health Sciences and Manipal College of Nursing, under Manipal University would turn to Marena Sports Complex on 15th October 2016 in their efforts in creating a World Record in Hand Sanitation relay effort on the occasion of Global Hand Washing Day. The first Global Hand washing Day was held in 2008, when over 120 million children around the world washed their hands with soap in more than 70 countries. Since 2008, community and national leaders have used Global Hand washing Day to spread the word about handwashing, build sinks and tippy taps, and demonstrate the simplicity and value of clean hands. The 2016 Global Handwashing Day theme is “Make Handwashing a Habit!”
Hand Hygiene (HH) action is performed by the individual participants in a relay fashion, one at a time in Mareena Sports Complex before authorised officials from Guinness Book of World Records as witnesses. A total of 4000 participants would part in the Hand Wash Relay, which is a new world record for having a large number of people washing their hands with sanitisers in the scientific six step method in a continuous relay mode.
Each participant had to individually perform the 6-step procedure and on completion pass the alcohol-based hand santiser to the next participant and exit the venue. This was performed before the official witnesses who timed each participant’s performance using a stopwatch. The Hand Sanitation relay effort was video-graphed with the number plates of the staff visible.
The purpose of celebrating the Global Handwashing Day was to spread the message of Hygiene and encourage everyone to make handwashing a habit. This also focuses the efforts of Kasturba Hospital, Manipal in implementing the infection control measures in place. Proper hand santisation plays a key role in controlling the spread of communicable diseases. This also lessens the burden of antimicrobial resistance.
