Aktion Saubere Hände

Aktion Saubere Hände is a nation-wide campaign to improve hand hygiene compliance in German healthcare facilities.

It was established on January 1, 2008 by the German National Reference Center for Surveillance of Nosocomial Infections (NRZ), the Aktionsbündnis Patientensicherheit e.V.  (Action Coalition for Patient Safety) (APS) and the Gesellschaft für Qualitätsmanagement in der Gesundheitsversorgung e.V. (Association for Quality Management in Healthcare), with support from the German Federal Ministry of Health.
