Hand hygiene is the basis of infection control. Pharmacists working in hospitals have many opportunities to interact directly with inpatients and outpatients owing to the enhancement of ward operations. As a result, pharmacists have an increased risk of being exposed to and acting as carriers of infectious diseases. Pharmacists, like other medical professionals, need to have appropriate knowledge and practice of hand hygiene, but they are not sufficiently aware of infection control procedures, including hand washing. We report an attempt by pharmacists to improve their compliance with hand hygiene practices.
