Available evidence suggests that handwashing adherence by visitors to hospital clinics is poor. In this?investigation, an audit of 180 people showed that handwashing adherence by visitors to a hospital clinic was 25 % , which was very low. Our active method to encourage handwashing led to a marked improvement in adherence from 25 % to 68 % , increasing to 77 % for longer term visitors to the clinic (significance, P < .0001).
