These initiatives are just among the efforts to drumbeat CMZ's advocacy in Hand Hygiene for optimal tangible impact.

A lot still has to be done for developing and sustaining compliance in a majority of the healthcare workers and even a larger responsibility to share the awareness to the Zamboanga City community!

Let us all DO our share to "MAKE HANDWASHING A HABIT" for a healthier community and a healthier world, as the Global Handwashing Day 2016 theme advocates!
