As part of the major global effort to improve hand hygiene in health care, the WHO SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands campaign every year asks people to share their photographs.

In 2015, social media analytics reported a reach of 39 million for #safeHANDS, with thousands of people posting their photographs.

This year leaders from around the world have already taken their photographs in support of the 2016 theme of #safesurgicalhands.
