Proper hand-washing protects patients, us as individuals, healthcare workers, and families from preventable illnesses. At Federal Medical Centre Asaba, we reinforce the importance of regular hand hygiene as a key component of patient safety and quality healthcare delivery. Wash your hands. Save lives.
