Barriers to hand hygiene practice among healthcare workers in health centres of Kirkos and Akaki Kality sub-cities, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a qualitative study
There were several reasons why hand hygiene guidance was not followed. Hand hygiene barriers can be minimized by displaying colour-coded notice boards, making washing facilities easily accessible, monitoring the availability of soap, offering training, and providing accurate evidence about the need to enhance hand hygiene.
