The document discusses hand washing and hygiene practices in a hospital setting. It defines different types of hand washing including medical, surgical, and hand hygiene. It explains that transient flora on the hands can transmit diseases while resident flora is generally harmless. Regular hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based rubs can significantly reduce bacteria and prevent transmission of infections. Proper hand hygiene is essential for infection control in healthcare facilities.
Hand washing, also known as hand hygiene, is the act of cleaning hands for the purpose of removing soil, dirt, and microorganisms. If water and soap is not available, hands can be cleaned with ash instead. Medical hand hygiene refers to hygiene practices related to medical procedures.
A simple way to stay healthy

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
One of the most developed cities of India, the city of Chennai is the capital of Tamilnadu and many people from different parts of India come here to earn their bread and butter. Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city

2. To educate all staffs of SAUH about hand washing.
To make standard handwashing practice throughout
hospital.
To educate staffs about resident flora and transient
flora.
To make handwashing practice a regular activity
irrespective of monitoring.
3. Hand washing:Hand washing is the fundamental part of
standard precaution procedures and disease control helps
reduce or prevent infection and transmission of microbes
among people and objects.
Medical hand washing:Medical hand washingis a procedure
done by health care personnel to prevent transmission of
infection and it is done for 60 seconds.
Surgical hand washing:Surgical hand washing is the act of
washing the fingernails, hands, and forearms with a bactericidal
soap or solution in a prescribed manner for a specific period (3 to
5 minutes) before a surgical procedure.
Hand hygiene :Hand hygiene relates to the removal of visible
soil and the removal or killing of transient microorganisms from
the hands and may be accomplished using soap and running
water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
4. The outer layer of bacteria found on your hands is
termed as transient flora.
This layer is potentially the most dangerous for
transmitting disease from one person to another.
Fortunately, it is also the most easily eliminated
by hand washing.
5. The deeper layer of bacteria is called Resident Flora.
This bacterial population is more likely to be made up
of innocuous bacteria such as Staphylococcus
epidermidis and Corynebacteria spp. (diptheroids).
They are resistant to washing, since they occupy the
deeper layers of skin
6. S. epidermidis is not usually pathogenic, patients with
compromised immune systems are often at risk for
developing an infection. These infections can be
bothnosocomial or community acquired.
S. epidermidis is also a major concern for people
with catheters or other surgical implants because it is
known to cause biofilms that grow on these devices.
7. Corynebacterium is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-
shapedbacteria. They are widely distributed in nature
and are mostly innocuous.

12. We have between 2 and 10 million bacteria between
fingertip and elbow
Damp hands spread 1,000 times more germs than dry
hands
The number of germs on your fingertips doubles after
you use the toilet
Germs can stay alive on hands for up to three hours
Millions of germs hide under watches and bracelets
and rings.

13. If hands are not visibly soiled or visibly contaminated
with blood or other proteinaceous material, the most
effective method for reducing the number of
pathogenic bacteria on the hands of personnel is using
alcohol hand rub.
