Hand Hygiene and Medical Glove Protocols: WHO and MDA Standards for Malaysian Healthcare Facilities

Hand hygiene remains healthcare's single most effective infection prevention measure. Yet compliance rates in Malaysian hospitals average 40-50%—well below the WHO target of 90%.

Critical Point: Gloves Don't Replace Hand Hygiene

Proper protocol requires hand hygiene before gloving and after doffing. Using quality gloves from certified suppliers is only half the equation—staff training on proper donning/doffing is equally critical.
