World Health Organization Data Highlights the Importance of Hand Hygiene in Hospitals

Hospitals, clinics, outpatient clinics, laboratories, and healthcare centers are critically important environments for protecting human health and providing medical treatment. One of the key issues that requires attention in healthcare environments is healthcare-associated infections.

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers healthcare-associated infections an important global health issue in terms of patient safety.

According to information published by the WHO, hand hygiene is one of the fundamental practices in the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections. Healthcare workers practicing hand hygiene at the right time and using the correct method is important for the safety of patients, healthcare workers, and healthcare services.

Why Is Hand Hygiene Important in Hospitals?

In healthcare facilities, hands are constantly in contact with patients, medical equipment, and environmental surfaces.

For this reason, the WHO places particular importance on hand hygiene in its work related to infection prevention and control in healthcare settings.

In particular, appropriate hand hygiene practices before and after contact with a patient, before aseptic procedures, after the risk of exposure to body fluids, and after contact with surfaces in the patient's surroundings are among the fundamental elements of infection control in healthcare.

Hand Hygiene Should Be Sustainable

In healthcare facilities, hand hygiene should not be a practice performed only at certain times but should be a regular part of daily healthcare services.

For effective hand hygiene practices, it is important that healthcare workers have access to the necessary hygiene facilities, that practices are carried out correctly, and that infection prevention and control processes in healthcare facilities are managed sustainably.

The World Health Organization publishes comprehensive guidelines, technical documents, and informational materials regarding hand hygiene in healthcare settings.

This section has been prepared for informational purposes as a summary based on hand hygiene information published by the World Health Organization. For detailed and up-to-date information on the subject, the official resources of the World Health Organization should be consulted.

Vialli Professional Hygiene Solutions

The following section contains information about Vialli's own products and systems. The Vialli products and product features mentioned here do not imply any product recommendation, approval, or endorsement by the World Health Organization.

At Vialli, we design and manufacture a range of hygiene equipment for hospitals, clinics, outpatient clinics, laboratories, and other professional environments.

Our product range includes various professional hygiene solutions such as liquid soap dispensers, foam soap dispensers, sanitizer dispensers, paper towel dispensers, roll towel dispensers, toilet paper dispensers, and toilet seat cover dispensers.

Liquid Soap Dispensers

Liquid soap dispensers can be used in handwashing areas to provide soap to users in a regular and controlled manner.

Vialli liquid soap dispenser models have been developed for use in hospitals, clinics, offices, restaurants, hotels, and other professional environments, with different options designed to meet various capacity, design, and usage requirements.

Their durable body structure and easy refilling and maintenance features are intended to provide practical use, particularly in areas with high usage levels.

Foam Soap Dispensers

A foam soap dispenser mixes the soap solution with air inside the pump and delivers it to the user in foam form.

Vialli foam soap dispenser models are designed to provide controlled dosing. As the soap solution is transformed into foam, it increases in volume and can be easily spread across the surface of the hands. This feature may help manage soap consumption in a controlled manner, particularly in high-traffic areas.

Vialli Cartridge Foam System

One of Vialli's solutions for professional environments is the cartridge foam soap system.

In this system, foam soap is stored inside a sealed cartridge. The sealed cartridge structure helps reduce the possibility of the soap coming into contact with the external environment and with potential sources of contact during the filling process.

Each case of the Vialli cartridge system contains 11 filled foam soap cartridges and 1 spare foam pump.

After one case of cartridges has been consumed, the pump used in the foam dispenser can be replaced with the new pump. This makes it possible to renew, at specific usage intervals, the pump mechanism through which the soap passes and where the foam is generated.

Periodically replacing the pump may help reduce the possibility of soap residue remaining inside the pump from previous use coming into contact with new cartridges. At the same time, using a new pump may help maintain system performance and contribute to the long-term use of the foam dispenser.

Sanitizer Dispensers

Vialli sanitizer dispensers have been developed to provide sanitizer products to users in a controlled manner in professional environments.

Sanitizer dispensers can be installed at hospital entrances, waiting areas, staff areas, and other appropriate locations to create organized hygiene points where users can easily access the product.

Paper Towel Dispensers

Paper towel dispensers can be used in handwashing areas to meet hand-drying needs.

Vialli paper towel dispenser models are designed to keep paper towels inside a closed dispenser while allowing users practical access to the paper towels they need.

Paper towel dispensers designed for different capacity and usage requirements can be used not only in hospitals but also in restaurants, hotels, factories, schools, offices, and other professional environments.

Roll Towel Dispensers

In high-traffic areas, roll towel dispensers provide an alternative hand-drying solution.

Vialli's mechanical roll towel systems include models that do not require electricity, batteries, or adapters. In medical lever-operated models, users can operate the paper towel dispensing mechanism using their arm or elbow.

Because the mechanical system operates without the need for electronic components, it may help simplify maintenance and usage processes.

Toilet Paper Dispensers

Vialli toilet paper dispensers have been developed to provide toilet paper to users within a closed and organized system.

Keeping toilet paper inside the dispenser may help keep the consumable material more organized within the usage area and allow consumption to be managed in a more controlled manner.

Toilet Seat Cover Dispensers

Toilet seat cover dispensers are complementary hygiene equipment designed to provide single-use toilet seat covers to users in an organized manner in shared-use environments.

Vialli toilet seat cover dispensers have been developed for use in restrooms in hospitals, clinics, offices, shopping malls, hotels, and other shared-use environments.
