Course Overview
COVID-19 has reminded us that hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent many infectious diseases causing diarrhoea, pneumonia and other symptoms in children. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to scale up hand hygiene in all settings.
This module is designed to provide you with the essential knowledge you will need to engage with supply chain actors and support the development of locally sourced and produced hand hygiene products.

- Plan and implement market-based interventions for hand hygiene.
